The Len Pick Trust is excited to be welcoming Amar Latif OBE - the blind guy who wants to show you the world, to the 2024 Len Pick Memorial Evening.By the time he was eighteen, Amar had lost 95% of his eyesight due to an incurable condition. Determined to travel and experience the whole world, Amar has since trekked 220 miles through Central America and climbed a 1500m active volcano!
Prior to exploring the world, Amar trained as an accountant, overcoming obstacles and challenging preconceptions to work his way up to Head of Commercial Finance for BT. After realising his passion lay in travelling, he turned to face new goals and was determined to create a more accessible world for those with visual impairments. He then founded his company, Traveleyes, giving millions of blind people the opportunity to trek through deserts, ski down some of the highest mountains and sail across seas.
The Len Pick Memorial Evening will see Amar recount his remarkable story as both adventurer and entrepreneur, including the many setbacks he has encountered. The second half of the evening will take the format of a 'fireside chat', giving the audience opportunities to ask questions of Amar.
Amar's TV appearances include The Last Leg Down Under, Celebrity Masterchef and The One Show.
During the first part of the evening, we look forward to welcoming musicians from local schools who will give a short performance before Amar takes to the stage.
Previous speakers at the event have included Amanda Owen, Adam Henson, Mandy Hickson and Bill Turnbull.
