Join Sam from The Blind Life as he interviews Chris, a remarkable individual with an inspiring vision story. At the age of 24, Chris received a diagnosis of Stargardt disease, leading to legal blindness by his early thirties. Despite the challenges, Chris embarked on a transformative journey of self-discovery through cycling. From commuting to work to conquering 100-mile charity rides and tackling the rugged terrain of off-road mountain biking, Chris's resilience shines through. Now, he's preparing for his most ambitious adventure yet: the Tour Divide, a 2,700-mile self-supported mountain bike race from Canada to Mexico. Learn how Chris navigates the trails with low vision, overcomes obstacles, and finds strength in solitude. This is a story of determination, adventure, and living life to the fullest.
