A 37-year-old man from Hereford, England named Ashley Winter has finally received a certificate from the Guinness World Record which confirmed his mile run last February. With a running time of 10 minutes and 11 seconds, Winter has officially set the Guinness World Record for the fastest mile run while blindfolded.
Winter, who has been diagnosed with vision-impairing eye disease keratoconus, raised money for charity Fight for Sight.
"I'm delighted that my Guinness World Record attempt had been approved. I want to prove to myself and to others with an eye condition what can be done if you put your mind to it," Winter told the Hereford Times. "By raising money for Fight for Sight I hope to help find the next breakthrough in treating sight loss conditions like keratoconus."
Awesome!
