đChallenging stereotypes. Changing the conversation.
Ben Felten is an Australian born motorcyclist, speaker and inclusion advocate and the first blind rider in the world to set a land speed record, reaching 266 km/h at Lake Gairdner in South Australia.
Ben was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa at 15. By 37, he was totally blind. But blindness didnât define the limits of his life, low expectations did.
Today, Ben is a motivational speaker, inclusivity thought leader, and founder of the charity In Sight of Dreams, supporting people with disability to reconnect with confidence, purpose and possibility.
At SNG Healthcare, we share stories like Benâs not to âcelebrate difference,â but to challenge stereotypes and remind our community that everyone deserves to be seen for who they are, not what others assume. Ben Feltenâs story reminds us that ability isnât defined by labels. Letâs keep sharing great achievements and changing the narrative.
