This story

At 37, severe short-sightedness led to James suffering a detached retina that required three operations to repair. The recovery put driving, flying and exercising on hold, but he eventually returned to running despite permanent peripheral scarring that affects him in the dark. He is now set to run the 2027 London Marathon to support research into vision loss.
