Weathering the Storm – A Night of Real Life Resilience
About
Imagine losing 98% of your eyesight, overnight.For Ben Pettingill, this was real, at just 16 years old.
Pull up a seat, grab a bite, and hear from someone who has weathered the storm as Ben talks about building resilience,
managing health and learning the importance of a strong support network as vital parts of his journey from complete denial to embracing and taking ownership of his new situation.
Hear about Ben's challenges, the wins, and how he’s kept moving forward through it all and simply 'Making the Most'.
It’s a no-fuss, honest conversation about real stuff — pressure, uncertainty, and staying steady when things get rough.
We’ll also hear briefly from:
🌾 Rural Aid – Lending a hand in hard times
💼 Rural Financial Counselling Service – Free support, no strings attached
