Her skill as an athlete could not be disputed, yet this was to mark only the beginning of her story.A beloved figure in her adopted home of Northern Ireland, Mary has spent decades promoting and encouraging its young sportspeople. From establishing its first high standard synthetic athletic track, to founding the Mary Peters Sports Trust, she has been a stalwart ambassador for sport and for Northern Ireland itself, and has received several royal honors in recognition of her services to sport and the community.With over 60 photographs set alongside lively commentary and insight into contemporary events, this is the definitive account of a truly remarkable woman: 'Our Mary'."A joyful trailblazer, Mary takes her place amongst those few special sporting stars who have achieved legendary status - both as an athlete and in her achievements since leaving the track." - DAME KATHERINE GRAINGER DBE"I owe so much to Mary Peters.

Since then, he has fulfilled many roles within the club and is currently a life member and president.<BR>From its foundation in 1921, Port Talbot Harriers has been an athletic force within the community and throughout Wales. Founder member A. E. 'Arthur' Williams was the backbone of the club for over 60 years, and without him there would have been no club at all.
