The first legally blind athlete to compete in the Olympic Games shares her story, from the moment she was diagnosed with Stargardt's disease at age nine through her career in track and field.
With self-deprecation and surprising wit, Runyan reveals what it's like to see the world through her diminished eyes and how it feels to grow up "disabled" in a society where expectations are based on perceived abilities. "No Finish Line" shows how she overcame her disability to compete at the world-class Olympic level despite the fact that--quite literally, for her--there is no finish line. Abridged.
