I was so blessed and excited to share Dr. Bill Johncock’s powerful, inspiring story! Many have been fortunate to witness and bask in the joy that Bill and his beautiful son Logan deliver running as a duo team for Ainsley's Angels.

This is a generational father-son love story, bound and shared together through running, filled with adventures, amazing stories, and so much love.

Bill ran his first marathon at 15 and his dad, Jerry, at 52. They shared a one-of-a-kind experience running their first Boston’s together at 19 and 55. I was captivated by the stories.

Jerry: 116 Marathons—starting after the age of 50—and holder of many National and World Age Group Records.

Bill: 104 marathons, 6 Boston’s, with a lifetime PR of 2:34.

Logan has Angelman Syndrome, an appropriate name since he may well be an angel on Earth. If you're lucky enough to meet this rock star, you'll know exactly what I mean. When they found out their opportunity to run their first Boston Marathon together had been postponed, they took action and created Team Logan's Marathon of Hope!

For any families out there that have a special needs child, this episode will hit home. Bill is an amazing human and such a pillar in his community. This chat may be a long one, but it's filled with love and inspiration.


If you enjoy the conversation, it would mean the world to me if you would rate the podcast or write a review and share feedback wherever you get your podcast groove on.
