Back in March, our friend Jason (the one with the book), was a guest on The Agenda with Steve Paikin. During the segment he talked about that book, and also shared some stories from his rather interesting life. You can watch it here:
Jason Dunkerley was born with a condition that has rendered him blind his entire life. And yet, somehow, he has managed to represent Canada at five Paralympic Games and numerous other international events as a runner. How he does that, not to mention negotiating the obstacles in the rest of his life, is the subject of his new memoir. It’s called “Visions of Hope: Running Towards My Own Truth”.
Speaking of The Agenda, word came down last week that the show would be closing up shop at the end of June. I wouldn’t count myself as a regular viewer, but I did watch. It was an important show that not only covered the big news in Ontario, but also gave a voice to people who aren’t always given one. I hope that whatever replaces it will keep doing that going forward.
