Steve Hughes, from Chelmsford, is a man who has had to learn how to live his life without vision.
The 38-year-old has Stargardt’s disease - a genetic condition that means he only has his peripheral vision at best.
He has been dealing with the condition since childhood but in the last two years his eyesight has rapidly deteriorated.
That resulted in a drop in confidence when going out and a massive readjustment to his life.
But through the pain of losing even more of his eyesight Steve has found inspiration in running and he has also set himself the daunting challenge of taking part in 10 exhausting sporting events.
He’ll also be raising money for a worthy Chelmsford cause along the way - the Sanctus homeless charity.
Brought to you by Essex Live, Humans of Chelmsford is a podcast about inspiring people with incredible tales from across the city.
Each show we uncover the stories you never knew existed about fellow Chelmsford residents and their lives.
Music in this episode is from Broke For Free.
