At 16, @vineetsaraiwala was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, a rare genetic disorder that causes loss of vision due to a breakdown or loss of retina cells. What makes this condition worse is an absence of a cure. For Vineet, his home became his hideout. He stopped going to social gatherings with the fear he would not be able to address his relatives with their names due to his failing eyesight. As the days turned into weeks, months and years, Vineet’s reservations and fears subsided, as he settled down to this new way of life. His commitment toward his studies bore fruit when he got an admission in the prestigious Indian Institute of Management, Bengaluru for a postgraduate course. One of his favourite moments in his career graph was converting his workplace into a disable-friendly place. Vineet’s love for sports is the same even now, except that running in Jamshedpur’s Jubilee Park is replaced by marathons and tandem cycles have replaced motorcycles. Vineet has participated in ten treks and five half marathons with one failed attempt. He has 10 per cent of his eyesight left and even after his loses it completely, he plans to continue his adventures. #geneticdisorder #failingeyesight #loveforsports #inspirational #positivestories
