All In My Stride tells of John Gilmour's early days living in a group settlement in the South West of Western Australia, the struggle for survival during the Great Depression, enlistment in the Army as a fit young man, and his coming to terms with major damage to his eyesight through malnutrition in Changi gaol. Worse was to come - nightmare years as a slave labourer in Japan. He was a 2/4th machine gunner.
On his subsequent return to Japan as a world champion veteran athlete he received the respect of his rivals and honours from authorities.
Richard Harris wrote John Gilmour's story as a message of hope to people of all ages everywhere - to have a vision, to keep going, and to take setbacks in one's stride.
It is more than a book about running. It is about the strength of the human spirit when adversity is shared, the support provided by friends, how a little bit of hope will take you a long way, and of how small acts of kindness from strangers can be of value beyond measure.
John Gilmour's story is an inspiration to all.
