You are my eyes – Running without barriers

Blind from birth, female junior high school student, Chen Yi-Yun (陳椘芸), wanted to take up the challenge of a visually impaired road race. During the process of building team rapport with her running partners and the intense training schedule, she used optimism and courage to overcome difficulties. Though she stopped once during the 5km road challenge, she eventually found the inner grit and pushed on to the finish line. 

Chen Yi-Yun, who has taken on the responsibility of becoming a seed for the development of Tanan’s visually impaired running scene, deeply moved her training partners Qiu Nian-ci (邱念慈) and Yan Jia-ling (顏嘉玲) during the training process. With the help of a short piece of rope to bind the runners together in fellowship, Qiu Nian-ci and Yan Jia-ling were made to realize that rather than obstacles, defects can be a driving force forward in life. Though God closed the proverbial window of Chen Yi-Yun’s soul, her indomitable perseverance has helped open another door.

一位出生即全盲的國中女孩陳椘芸，要挑戰人生的第一次視障路跑，在與陪跑員培養默契與跑步訓練過程中，她以樂觀與勇氣克服困難，挑戰五公里路跑過程中雖一度停下來，但是她仍然邁開腳步繼續向前衝。

陳椘芸擔任台南視障路跑種子，陪同椘芸練跑的邱念慈及顏嘉玲感受更深刻，跑步的過程中，深刻體會缺陷不是阻礙，而是向前推進的原動力，透過一條陪¬跑繩，串連起雙方的友誼，雖然上帝關上陳椘芸的靈魂之窗，她卻用堅強的意志，為自己開啟了另一扇門。
