Amazing and bubbling story of Terry Fox. You can do anything if you put your mind to it!
Terry Fox was a cancer patient who ran 5,373 km across Canada in just 143 days before he died.
Terry thrilled the entire country. His goal was to receive one Canadian dollar for every Canadian in the population (then 24 million people), and he achieved his goal by raising 24.17 million Canadian dollars in February 1981.
A year after Terry Fox's death, the Terry Fox Foundation was created, which promotes amateur races across Canada and in several countries to support the fight against cancer.
According to the Terry Fox Foundation, more than C$715 million has already been raised for cancer research on Terry Fox's behalf.

Such a powerful video. We are stronger if we take action together.

An absolutely epic adventure!
Wales Coast to Coast along Sarn Helen. 6 days of epic riding from Conwy in North Wales to Worms Head on the Gower Peninsula. 400km and 8500m of climbing, 2 national parks, and 1 area of ‘astounding’ natural beauty.
It’s simply EPIC!

So true. I need to practice letting go of control and over analysis 👍
Relax. Your rumination, analysis, worry, and need to control the future are robbing you of the current moment. Yes, there is a time for preparation, but continually thinking of the future guarantees you'll never enjoy in the present.

If you sit at a desk all day, you
NEED to MOVE your body.
- Your morning should be at
least a 15 minute walk.
-Lunch should be at least
10 minutes of walking.
-After work should be another
15 minutes or more.
Sitting is the new smoking.
Movement is life!
“I've learned to talk to myself, instead of listen to myself. If I listen to myself, I hear all the reasons why I can't finish the race. But if I talk to myself, I can feed myself with the words of encouragement that I need to keep on moving forward.”- Jon Gordon

Polly was holding the reins on day two of our epic Wales C2C - Sarn Helen. After a lush breakfast @oldskoolmtb it was Coed Y Brenin, Mawddach Estuary, Ffordd Ddu over to Bryncrug, and the epic Rhydyronen climb and drop in glorious sunshine.

Day 3 of the Wales C2C was both epic and totally cool at the same time. Cambrian Mountains were wild, on to Nant yr Arian for a blast, then a lift up to Devils Bridge by steam train. Now that’s a great day!!

Day 5 Builth Wells to Ystradfellte on the Wales C2C. Bannau Brycheiniog was as wild as ever, a rugged landscape that is alway challenging to cross. We made great time finishing in waterfall country.

Day 4 - 65km with 1,500m of climbing from Devils bridge to Built Wells. The day started with a steady climb up
to The Arch high above the valley. We then dropped down the valley to Hafod
Estate, a beautiful forest and gorge. My skills were tested by a big and an epic descent.
