366 Age Group Story: Gareth Whittle - a podcast by Rob Wilby
from 2021-12-29T04:00
Age Group Special: Gareth Whittle.
Age Grouper Gareth Whittle has a story that will inspire and motivate you to overcome any challenge that life throws at you. An adventure holiday in Alaska went horribly wrong for Gareth and his friends, when an unexpected storm, bringing heavy snow and temperatures of -40 degrees C, trapped Gareth and his expedition partners in life threatening conditions. Freezing cold, lost in the pitch black Alaskan night and afraid for their lives after an accident stranded them, they became hypothermic and developed frostbite. Finally managing to find their way to shelter, they realised that their ordeal was only just beginning. Gareth tells the story of the battle to regain the use of his feet, his gradual and painful return to exercise, and finally, triumphantly, recovering his health and regaining enough fitness to cross the line at Outlaw Full in Nottingham in 2021.
