Visions of Hope: Running Towards My Own Truth

Jason Dunkerley’s Visions of Hope: Running Towards My Own Truth is the uplifting autobiography of a world-class Canadian middle-distance runner. Blind from birth with a congenital eye condition, Jason achieved international acclaim as a five-time Paralympic medalist and world champion. In telling his story, Jason introduces the reader to the behind-the-scenes intricacies of top-tier athletics: the drudgery and painful 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. Jason, born in Northern Ireland, emigrated to Canada with his family in 1991 when he was thirteen. He never let his lack of sight diminish his drive to live life to the fullest or prevent him from developing his innate athletic talent while also inspiring others, regardless of their abilities, to achieve personal fulfillment through sport. Bruce Kidd, a fabled Canadian Olympian and Professor Emeritus of Sport Politics and Policy at the University of Toronto, calls Visions of Hope “an insightful, at times poetic, account of the life of a Canadian Paralympian.”
