When 10-year-old James Pittar started having trouble seeing at night he could never have predicted that within a decade his vision would be all but gone.

But not for James.Just a few months shy of his thirtieth birthday James did what no blind person has ever done before - he swam the English Channel. It signalled a shift in his mindset - from that point onwards he would never think of himself as the underdog. He would learn that disability is only a barrier if you let it be.James is incredibly generous in sharing his experiences and emotions and its hard not to be drawn in as he takes us on a personal journey through his childhood the loss of vision in his teens the decision not to let it define him and his continual dedication to growth and self-improvement throughout his life.Blind Vision is a fascinating account of a unique and inspiring career in open-water swimming. But more than that it is a story for anyone thats ever been told they cant. James Pittar is living proof that no matter what the odds with dedication passion and the right people around you you can.
