Description: Courage, determination and trust take on a new meaning as Harry Cordellos, blind since age 19, tackles Northern California's Dipsea Race guided only by the voice and ready arm of his sighted partner. Tension builds as the pair meet and conquer the challenge of an unpaved twisting course, climbing 671 treacherous steps (half the distance to the top of the Empire State Building), running down the 45 degree slop of Suicide Hill, up 1400 feet to the top of Mt. Tamalpais, then down to the ocean and the finish. An inspiring example for people of every age, interest, and occupation

Complete Record: Presents the determination and cooperation between a blind man (Harry Cordellos) and his sighted partner (Mike Restani) when they took on the grueling Dipsea cross-country race over the California mountains and through rain forests. “The Dipsea Race is like life. You don’t win it…you survive it.” Harry Cordellos.
