About this episode

Rafael Garcia discusses his experiences as a father and ultra marathon runner, focusing on his daughter's battles with epilepsy and his upcoming charity run.

This week on the podcast I'm very lucky to be sitting down with ultra marathon runner and father of 2, Rafael Garcia. Rafael walks us through his daughters battles with epilepsy from the very beginner and how this has inspired his work with 1in25.
