Olympian runner Marla Runyan
was born on January 4, 1969, in Santa Maria, California. At the age of
nine Runyan developed Stargardt’s Disease, which is a form of macular
degeneration that left her legally blind. Stargardt’s is the most common cause
of blindness in the United States. Despite the effect Stargardt’s
had on Runyan’s vision, she did retain her peripheral vision. She
attended Adolfo Camarillo High School, graduated in 1987, and then she received
a B.S. in Education of the Deaf at San Diego State University and a M.S. in
Education of Deaf-Blind Children in 1994.
