Today is #AlbinismAwarenessDay! There have been several athletes with albinism who have competed at the Paralympics. Chad Perris sprinted to a memorable podium in the T13 100m at Rio 2016. Perris speaks about the awareness of albinism, and he says it all comes down to educating the general public. “There are plenty of misconceptions about albinism and in fact, most people don’t know that people with albinism have a vision impairment. There are many forms of albinism, including ocular albinism which only affects the eyes. “It’s absolutely important for people to have a better understanding of not just albinism, but different disability types. The more exposure people like myself with albinism get, the more understanding there will be across the wider public.” Photos: Kym Crosby 🇺🇸 smiling on track post race.
