About Kate Giles

Kate Giles is a 60 plus retired health care worker. Although having lost over 90% of her vision to a genetic eye disease, she remains an active member of the community. Kate is also a regular columnist on a Government website. Neither age nor disability has limited Kate’s sense of adventure. Each year along with her husband Denis, they head off on a self- designed holiday experience that would envy most 30 year olds. With three kids and six grandkids and loads of experience in the real world, Kate is never short of a topic to write about.
