What are you thankful for? Thankful to have met Gary Westlund from Charities Challenge and his concept of RxExercise at the 10km mark of the stunningly beautiful and mountainous course of the Kauai Marathon in 2012. We had a great talk about the power of running and exercise to treat chronic conditions, like osteoarthritis and other diseases. Back then his progressive Orthopaedic surgeon told him he was allowed to run up to 20km a week. His story and work continues to inspires us - he is widely recognized for his athletic “comeback” from 2 x Total Hip Arthroplasty. He has completed 37 Marathons & Ultra-Marathons and about 700 other road & track races. he organises 25 annual series of challenge & holiday 5ks, and indoor track events each year - inspiring at least 5000 participants to improve their health & fitness, reduce their health risks & enhance disease management charitieschallenge.org thekauaimarathon solesurvivor.au one step ahead
