Azeem Amir is 19 and has been visually impaired since birth. However, he has never let it be a barrier to success. Azeem plays Blind Football professionally and is working towards qualifying for the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics.
In 2016, Azeem became the youngest blind person to complete Tough Mudder; a grueling 12-mile obstacle course, featuring muddy ditches, huge walls and electric fences! Since running Tough Mudder, Azeem has risen to fame as a highly respected advocate for disability rights. He is now an ambassador for several disability organizations and through talks, coaching and workshops aims to inspire as many young people as possible to achieve their own version of success.
