Today’s edition of The Aid Station is a glimmer of hope in the dark tunnel of event cancellations as we head to Perth, Australia to meet David Budge, Operations Director of The Event Team (WA).


As restrictions are lifted in Australia, Dave and his team were able to announce last week that they have approval for their mountain bike and trail running event to go ahead in September.


Some great insights into the background as well as the excitement that it has brought to the team.


Follow the highs and lows as Dave generously shares the challenges of having to shut down his former business in 2018 and the support of the community that helped him through.


The time out gave a great opportunity for perspective, re-evaluation and a different business model which has him loving his work again.


Be sure to listen until the very end to hear his inspirational story of a 97 year old participant.
