Sinéad Kane, a record-breaking runner with endless vision

Last Sunday, at 34 years old and with only 5% vision, Co Cork woman Sinéad Kane became the first visually impaired woman to run seven marathons on seven continents in seven days.

You would be forgiven for thinking that, as Ireland’s first legally blind solicitor and in the fourth year of her PhD research, Sinéad took on and completed the mammoth challenge with an unwavering attitude of sparkling optimism.

She didn’t. She just got back up more times than she fell, and not only out on the road but in life too.
