Human Interest Story

Blind Army veteran uses adaptive sports to reclaim his passion for running and aims for the Richmond Marathon.

Matthew Reed, a former U.S. Army soldier who began losing his eyesight after serving in Afghanistan. By 2017 he had lost sight in both eyes, halting his athletic pursuits. With the help of adaptive sports and the Sportable program, Reed found new ways to stay active and has returned to running. He plans to compete in the Richmond Marathon alongside a guide runner and says he now focuses on what he can still accomplish rather than what he has lost. Reed hopes his story will inspire others facing challenges to “get up and get out and do it”, and highlights how local organizations are creating inclusive opportunities for athletes with disabilities.
