Running Blind by Rob Matthews
'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.
Rob (Bob) Matthews, MBE, went blind as a teenager. Determined to lead as normal a life as possible, he became a runner and represented Great Britain for many years as a gold medal winning Paralympian. Rob and his wife, Sarah, who is a Kiwi, returned to Auckland to raise their young family.
