Diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer in 2014 and given just two years to live, Kevin Webber started a brutal regime of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. He also started running and refused to stop.
Across the deserts of the Sahara, the snow and ice of the Arctic and the jungles of Cambodia, Kevin's journey has taken him from the depths of despair to achieving the impossible. On this episode Kevin describes the emotions of discovering he was terminally ill and the impact on his family and friends.
He talks honestly about his cancer, his treatment and making every day count while staring death in the face. The training, the marathons, the injuries, the physical and mental challenges of living with terminal cancer are all described in Kevin's own words. He has never stopped dreaming and living his life the best way he can. This is one man's story of running to stay alive which will hopefully inspire you to live a bit more too.
