Story

Meet Collin – Running Against All Odds!

Collin has been running for over 30 years, proving that nothing can hold him back! As a visually impaired runner, he has completed 50+ half marathons and 4-5 full marathons, including the prestigious London Marathon!

Running with Sighted Guides

For the past 12 years, Collin has run with sighted guides, which he enjoys because it gives him both support and company along the way. Running isn’t just a sport for Collin—it’s a passion that keeps him going, no matter the obstacles.

Running for Others

Collin has not only run for himself—he has also supported others along the way. He previously completed The Great North Run alongside a QAC student, demonstrating his commitment to inspiring and helping others achieve their goals.

Why QAC?

Collin has run for QAC over five times, raising funds to support people with disabilities—something incredibly close to his heart. He knows first hand how important it is to create opportunities for everyone, no matter their challenges.

Let’s cheer Collin on as he takes on this challenge once again!
