'In my mind's eye I can still see everything. Most of all, I remember clearly the face of a frightened 15-year-old staring back at me in the mirror. This is the last image I have of myself . . . '
this is the inspiring story of Rob Matthews, whose lack of sight must not be confused with a lack of vision. Matthews inherited a congenital condition which left him blind by the age of 20. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he turned to running.
