Ahead of International Day of People with Disability tomorrow, Fairsy caught up with an amazing young man Ben Pettingill.

Despite losing 98 per cent of his eyesight overnight as a 16 year old, Ben has managed to chalk up some amazing achievements including trekking the Kokoda Track.

He's also set up a nationwide program called Sports 4 All and Tasmanian Schools and Clubs are welcome to apply.
