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.
