Episode 64 – Guiding vision impaired runners

In todays episode we have a fascinating conversation with Markus Schar. Markus regularly volunteers as a guide for the visually impaired and he works for The Fred Hollows Foundation. We talk about how this diving instructor/accountant from Switzerland ended up in Australia and taking up running in the 1990’s, which all lead to where he finds himself now.
