Desmond Palmer could only manage a bronze medal during inter-house long jump at school. That never stopped him from falling in love with athletics but there was another problem.Desmond believed there wasn’t enough written history on the athletic achievements of Jamaicans outside of the famous names of recent history.The names Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Usain Bolt, Veronica Campbell-Brown, Merlene Ottey, Melanie Walker, cast massive shadows. Those shadows often forces the names of those who came before, into veritable ignominy, their achievements forgotten. Desmond wants us to remember. His book, ‘4Runners’, helps us do just that.
