For Jenny Dawson, a 63-year-old from Perth, Australia, mobility is second nature. Having used a traditional cane for over 40 years, she describes herself as a “very proud older lady who is very independent”. Living as part of a totally independent blind couple with her husband, Jenny has raised two sons and considers herself to be on the high end of mobility independence. Whether using public transport or taxis, she is highly skilled at navigating her community.

Moh Jetha, a London-based retiree with a background in hotel financing and property management as well as a chocolate shop owner, recently faced a significant shift in his life after losing most of his vision within a few months. However, since adopting the WeWALK Smart Cane 2, he describes the experience as a complete “life-changer”.

The new update that takes the WeWALK Smart Cane 2 experience to the next level is live! So what does this update have in store for you?

“WeWALK doesn’t just detect obstacles—it offers so much more. If this is where we are today, thinking about where it could evolve tomorrow is truly exciting.” These words belong to Ayşenur Otlu, a 24-year-old Translation and Interpreting student. She shared her journey to independence—from Balıkesir to Istanbul, Erzurum, and Bandırma—and how meeting WeWALK transformed her life.

Christopher Clarke is a veteran living in Lexington, Kentucky. After being diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2021, his vision was affected by optic nerve damage during his treatment. While this transition was a significant learning experience, Chris maintains a grounded perspective, stating, “life is good and everything’s okay”.

We recently spoke with Mike Wright, a totally blind and fairly confident traveler who has integrated the WeWALK Smart Cane 2 into his active lifestyle.

Some dads are the type who always know the way. Not just the route; the pace, the confidence, the quiet assurance that wherever they’re headed, they’ll figure it out. That energy doesn’t come from having all the answers. It comes from never stopping. Visual impairment changes some things. It doesn’t have to change that.

“WeWALK genuinely gives a visually impaired person confidence.” These words belong to Tolga Dokuyucu, who lost his sight eight years ago after a blow to the head from a horse-riding accident, and who has gone on to achieve remarkable things since. Tolga, a 40-year-old married father of two based in Ankara, shared with us his journey toward independence and how WeWALK has changed his life.

There’s a memory most of us carry without realizing how much it shaped us. You were small, and the world was enormous, and she was right there — a few steps ahead, arms open, waiting. Just close enough to catch you if you fell, and far enough away to let you feel what it meant to move on your own. That’s what she gave you: the belief that you could go forward. She’s been doing that your whole life. What about giving her the gift of independence this Mother’s Day? Through May 10th, the WeWALK Smart Cane 2 is $250 off with code MOM250

“Independence is one of the defining pillars of my identity.” That’s the powerful sentence that opens Engin Yılmaz’s story. For him, independence isn’t simply about getting from one place to another — it’s a stance, an identity that permeates every corner of life.
