How do you turn grief into a movement? This episode of the Athletics Ontario Running Podcast features Neil McKay, founder of Persistence Racing, marking five years of resilience in London, Ontario. We explore the launch of Fox Stride, a unique "double dash" track event, and the deeply personal motivation behind Neil's mission.
After navigating family tragedy and recovery, Neil's experiences with the London Children's Hospital inspired his London 100—a 100km solo challenge to raise $5,000 for pediatric care. It's a powerful look at finding purpose through pain and the profound impact of running for something bigger than yourself.
