Hello beautiful people
On today’s podcast we have the amazing Kevin Webber. In 2014, at the young age of 49, Kevin was informed that he has terminal prostate cancer, and may only live as short as two more years. What is truly just incredible about this story, is that Kevin is still with us, 7-years post-diagnosis. Yes you are Kevin! We love you! So, Kevin attributes his longevity in the context of a terminal illness to his running and his daily practice of planning tomorrow, today. I asked Kevin to send over his bio so that I could truly honour the running he has done, but I’m sorry Kevin, I just can’t. I am so proud of you as there is just far too many to mention! From ultramarathons in Cambodia, Spain, Albania, Jordan, pulling a 40kg sled over 120miles, almost 200km, in the Arctic, being the only person with stage 4 cancer to finish MDS 4 times, a 250km stage run through the Sahara Desert, and more recently, due to Covid restrictions, decided to run the MDS in his own backyard, which totalled an astonishing 2,600 laps! Oh and he is on a running streak, having ran over 540 days in a row so far covering over 6,600km.
He has been awarded the British Empire Medal from the Queens Birthday Honours list and was granted the Freedom of the City of London. Kevin has raised over 250,000 pounds for Prostate Cancer UK and has inspired his family and friends to raise over 500,000 pounds, totalling to a life-changing and life-saving 750,000 pounds!
So personally, what I love about this podcast is I very quickly came to realise, there was no necessity in hearing my own voice. Kevin is a storyteller, and you will find shortly into the podcast, I allow the space for him to share his very vulnerable story with no interruption. Yes this podcast goes for 2 hours, the man can sure talk, but I encourage you, that if at any moment you feel you don’t have enough time for this, you are in a hurry, other things to do, to be aware of those thoughts because for the next 2 hours these are the words from a man with a terminal illness. These are words from a man that has lived that so-many-things-to-do kind of life, and as he shares from the wise words of Confucius, “We have two lives, and the second begins when we realise we have one.”
... I ask that we be the kind of people today that really take the time to listen to Kevin. For us not to be the person to be faced with the darkness of regret when we come to truly face death. But, as Kevin shares, to be truly proud of who we are everyday, to also enjoy what we do everyday and ensure we are always making good memories.
