Behind every visually impaired runner is a dedicated guide who plays a crucial role in their success. For Paralympian Fanie van der Merwe. Being a guide is not just a partner but a source of trust, focus, and support—helping his athletes break barriers and achieve greatness on the track! 👟💨

Guides for visually impaired athletes like Fanie are the unsung heroes of Para athletics. Their responsibility goes beyond pacing—they provide constant communication, ensuring the runner stays on course, remains safe, and can perform at their highest level. 🗣️🤝

Fanie's journey is a beautiful reminder that teamwork, determination, and trust can lead to extraordinary victories. 🙌 Let’s celebrate both the athletes and the guides who make these feats possible! 🌟
