Author Description

Born sighted, 'Blind' Dave Heeley showed athletic promise from an early age, smashing his town's 1500-metre track record aged just 11. However, a devastating diagnosis shattered his sporting dreams and he hastily gave up on sporting activity. This work charts his story and how he rediscovered his boyhood talent for running and went on to undertake some of the world's toughest challenges. With a foreword by the veteran and record-breaking English adventurer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, 'From Light to Dark' is a heart-warming, inspirational tale of triumph over adversity.
