Sometimes you meet people who you just know will have a lasting impact on your life.
A year ago, during an ultramarathon in the desert, I met Sam. Somewhere in that brutal environment, a kind of brotherhood emerged. Raw, genuine, and unforgettable.
We share the same passion for pushing limits, preferably on foot. Since then, I’ve travelled to England twice to reconnect with Sam and
@mark_j_peart , to share that same love for movement and adventure.
When Sam told me about his next challenge, I knew I had to be there.
Day 42 of his mission: 74 ultramarathons in 74 days, raising funds and awareness for Headway UK.
It turned into an incredible day, not only because of the run itself, but because I got to experience Sam surrounded by his family, siblings, and his mum. The connection and support in that family was beautiful to see.
Of course, we ran too, and, coincidentally
@itvnews showed up to film Sam’s story.
A truly inspiring day, and I’m grateful to have shared even a small part of it.
