Summary
Today on the podcast my guest is Hollie Hughes. She is the mother of four and she pushes her son Jonah, who has Cerebral Palsy, in a Team Hoyt chair. He is 12 now and she has been pushing him since he was a baby. Jonah and Holly run so many miles and races together. Jonah is her biggest cheerleader. She has run a sub-3 hour marathon while pushing Jonah. Most recently, Jonah and Hollie ran a 50 mile race and ran it in 7 hours and 53 minutes. We cover a wide range of topics in this episode.
Trigger warning: at the beginning of the episode, we do discuss some pretty severe mental health struggles and the topic of suicide attempts does come up in this episode.
