Thank you for sharing the article! Your coach is inspiring as a man and a runner! Let us know how his run/ journey from and including Round the Bay and Boston goes. How did you end up being coached him?

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Lavender1962]

No problem! He is an amazing person. I was very lucky as he is an MEC store ambassador and hosts the local group from the store. I came across them completely by fluke. I will keep you posted on his progress.

Wow! What an amazing person. Thank you for sharing. You’re definitely in great company there!

Yes I know I may have mentioned his Boston run before, but then I saw this article. It still blows my mind what he is taking on.

Amazing man! What a message 😮🙂🙂🙂🙂

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Irish-John]

Yeah I am humbled to run with him.

[Lordi Marathon]

Wow. Great story! That's a hell of a combination run!

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Lordi]

For anyone else it would be madness, but he’s done runs like this before.

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

How wonderful!!

I love that he is "a great lover of socks" - I need to catch some of his enthusiasm 😊😊😊

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to roseabi]

Haha he really is! Has a crazy collection. And to partner with quality sock companies to supply homeless shelters for those who need them most is such a classy move.

Crikey he sounds absolutely amazing! It must add a whole new level to your runs having such an inspirational coach.

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to linda9389]

Yeah he is a great all round person, and his positivity is contagious even for a geezer like me 😊

[aliboo70 Half Marathon]

Wow what a huge task to take on but he sounds like a super determined guy who is also a very decent bloke. Good luck to him,amazing!

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to aliboo70]

Yes he’s a great bloke and the main reason this is such a good group of people to run with.

Just read the article on the train into work. What a great read. Thank you for posting. Reading about achievements like Jim's inspire me.

I had a eye opening experience this weekend. My girlfriend is a kayaking coach and I was her support team on a 13mile paddle with 21 Portages. Competing along side was a young man who was a triple amputee. He was just awesome. If I start finding moments in life hard I should try to remember that moment. It will make my trivia seem insignificant...

Great read.
