Katie Dicker, visually impaired, will raise money for charity

Exeter resident Katie Dicker is taking to her specially adapted trike tomorrow (Saturday 18August) to raise money for Dream-A-Way – a charity that provides holiday grants and trips for people with physical and learning disabilities. 

 

Katie, who has severe physical disabilities and is visually impaired, is aiming to complete the massive challenge of cycling over 2 miles around Exeter’s Roman city wall. Her carer Aubone Braddon, who has worked with Katie for over 25 years, is acting as her ‘sighted guide’ supporting her on foot. 

 

Aubone said: “I know that raising money for this charity is something that Katie feels passionately about. She wanted to give something back after receiving so much support from Dream-A-Way. She has trained for a long time to complete the challenge, and when she wanted me to be her guide, I jumped at the chance. It was an honour! We make a great team.”
