How do people come together when tragedy tries to tear them apart? When 39-time marathon runner Andrew Spriggs was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, he knew his running days were over. But when he received a surprise email from his nephew Chris, he didn't know what it would lead to or how it would re-unite them as runners in a race against time. 'Running in the Dark' is an astonishing story that will make you laugh and weep. Not only a journey of endurance, but one of personal discoveries and unforgettable encounters, rich with insights and inspiration. AUTHOR: Chris Spriggs is a runner, writer and coach.
