Description: "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. But it hasn't been an easy run. Running blind deals honestly with the highs and lows of living life in the dark. Rob talks about meeting and marrying his first wife, only to cruelly lose her to a blockage in the brain, then pulling himself out of despair and daring to try again to find love and start a family." -- Back cover.
