On this episode of RunThrough Presents ‘Gone Running’ Ben Sheppard talks to the awe-inspiring David Wetherill.

David shares his story from a three-time Paralympian table tennis player to becoming a marathon runner attempting the crutch world record, all while overcoming the challenges of living with a disability.

He discusses the importance of purpose, resilience, and the impact of community support in his life.

David reflects on his transition from elite sports to running, the mental battles he faced, and how he channels his experiences into helping others through charity work. His life is a testament to the power of determination and the belief that any obstacle, no matter how big or life-altering has a way of being overcome!
