Summary
Iain Ward is one of the most inspiring people we've had on the podcast before. In 2019 he was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, and has set himself the goal of raising the most money for charity that has ever been raised for running a marathon but he DOESN'T want you to donate money.
The message is simple, get him as many followers as possible and make companies pay him for exposure, and he will plow that all into charity.
So far he has over 6 million followers across social media!
