Chris was 22, enjoying the start of a promising new firefighting career, and aspiring to play professional football when suddenly tragedy struck, Chris Delaney was going BLIND. As his sight worsened, debilitating depression began to consume him as he watched his career, income, license, independence, football, future, and once perfect sight, deteriorate. Broken and in despair, Chris turned to alcohol to escape. With his sight and judgement impaired, Chris attempted to end his life. Surviving the attempt and witnessing the pain it caused his mother, Chris vowed he would RISE AGAIN, and RISE he did! BLIND STRENGTH is the comeback story of a lifetime! Motivated by the desire to help others, Chris shares his unique strategy and remarkably inspiring life story of how he lost everything in the blink of an eye but fought tirelessly to rebuild a life of purpose and overcame challenges on his way to:
