‘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’s view is not that he’s blind, it’s just that he can’t see. His tenacity and talent have helped him win 29 international gold medals including eight Paralympic gold medals. He has set 22 world records and received an MBE from the Queen. He has cycled around Europe and driven a racing car at high speed; he skis on snow and on water, and plays golf, football and cricket.

But it hasn’t been an easy run. Running Blind deals honestly with the highs and lows of living life in the dark.

Running Blind is the unexpected story of how one man achieved his dreams – as an athlete, as a husband and as a father. He truly lives by his motto: Anything is possible if you set your mind to it.”
