Visions of Hope

<p>Jason Dunkerley's <em>Visions of Hope: Running Towards My Own Truth</em> is an autobiography of an iconic blind Canadian middle-distance runner who won five Paralympic medals and numerous other laurels during his storied career. In telling his story Dunkerley introduces the reader to the behind-the-scenes intricacies of top-tier athletics: the rigours of intensive training; the building of rapport among athlete guide and coach; the development and implementation of winning strategies; the never-ending struggle to excel; the searing letdown of defeat and the euphoric triumph of victory. Bruce Kidd a fabled Canadian Olympian and Professor Emeritus of Sport Politics and Policy at the University of Toronto called <em>Visions of Hope</em> an insightful at times poetic account of the life of a Canadian Paralympian.</p>
