Author Ray Matthews says:  “I was born it has to be said at a time when a certain Mr A Hitler was still throwing bombs at us. From an early age sports became a big part of my life. The pressures of running a business and providing a living for my family took over my life and my sporting activities were placed on the back burner. Retirement however has brought a new lease of life, and afforded me the time to spend on my sporting lifestyle, and in particular marathon, and endurance running, in some of the most picturesque and remotest parts of the world, which has provided me with an abundance of memorable moments to record and then eventually the very daunting task of write this first book Me & My Shadow. A chance request to give a talk about my experiences has led to a very satisfying addition to my life, and finding that I have the ability to give motivational, and inspirational talks to audiences, has added greatly to my very busy, but fulfilling life.”
