Show Notes
Clarke Reynolds, a blind artist from Havant, is preparing for the Brighton marathon using advanced technology. Hes partnering with the Be My Eyes app and Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, which will allow sighted volunteers worldwide to guide him during the race. Reynolds, who lost sight in one eye at six and went fully blind at thirteen, is using this challenge to raise awareness about sight loss. Hes trained by lapping his local half-mile crescent and has over a hundred volunteers supporting him. His charity, Fight for Sight, is also involved, providing race-day help and a backup runner if needed. This marathon isnt just a personal challenge for Reynolds, but a way to spark conversations about sight loss and show that technology and determination can redefine limits for the visually impaired.
