Blind female runner Vu Kim Thuy conquers unlimited marathon

Born in 1978, Vu Kim Thuy had to face many difficulties since birth when her eyes could only see large objects and contrasting colors. Her eyesight gradually decreased over the years, and her childhood was filled with days of loneliness, self-consciousness, and withdrawal due to teasing from her friends.

But fortunately, thanks to the boundless love of her family and her relentless efforts, Thuy has gradually overcome all barriers. Thuy's parents have tried their best to help their daughter integrate. The long journeys of treatment, the anxious nights and the tears are the motivation for Thuy to rise up.
