Run 10km lately? This story will get you out there!

‘I bent my head so far back, you know like a pez dispenser that was me!’ Mike Shaw on DROPPING IN a podcast with Mercedes Nicoll

That quote alone should make you curious as to how someone that dislocated and broke his neck is now. This week on episode 4 of DROPPING IN a podcast with Mercedes Nicoll I chat with Mike Shaw.

In 2013 he describes how this happened and how he coped with doctors telling him that he wouldn’t walk again.

FYI after just 1 year, 5 months after his injury Mike Ran in the Wings For Life World Run as an ambassador for Spinal Cord Injury. ‘I was running for those who can’t, pushing myself and making it almost 10km before the race was over.’ Mike Shaw

Every year this run comes up it means so much to me. Year after year it’s my goal to go a bit farther than the last. It’s not a linear trajectory, there are setbacks, but the @wflworldrun gives me something much bigger to work towards than physical recovery and healing. Along the way there’s been a support system behind me… To name a few, @justdueck @jimjmnmusic @christinanotcathy @bcschmidt @fergiecancade @redbullcanada @jossieboots @andrew_cho_ @dave_weale @kevinrempel @erinsaari83 @reyban0 @paulyplewa771 @reedspeedman Thank You! Every year this support grows and I look forward to running/rolling with you—respecting physical distance by using the app, of course—to do something wicked for the world. Join us on May 3rd 💪💪👊 #teamcoast2coast #gratefuleveryday
