Summary

Today we are joined by someone who is quite frankly, a Rugby Legend - Gareth Thomas CBE! One of the many ways Gareth keeps fit is going for a run. It’s the one time he really lives in the NOW, and if he could live his whole life how he feels when he’s running he certainly would want to. When he’s not smashing his running PB he’s smashing the stigma attached to HIV along with the amazing people behind Tackle HIV. In fact this episode is being recorded in New York, just a day before Gareth jumps on the microphone to do a TED Talk about Stigma and Shame - something Gareth has had to learn to navigate. You’re about to learn that imagination is key when it comes to running, and also there’s a lot of good in the running community! HIV is nothing to be ashamed of To show some love, and get more information about 'Tackle HIV’ go to: tacklehiv.org Why not support them at the Cardiff Half Marathon 2022?
