Description RANDY (26)Vince’s older cousin and closest source of support. Randy is warm, patient, dependable, and deeply protective of Vince, while also trying to build a career of his own.

He continues to put Vince first, even as his own opportunities begin to slip away. As Vince’s passion for running develops into an obsession, Randy becomes increasingly concerned and is forced to confront how far he will go to protect his cousin. Physical Description: Black. Male.
