Meet Iain Liam Ward AKA The King of Chemo 
Diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2020 at age 31, Iain turned a tragic situation into a viral mission to break world records by completing marathons and raising money for cancer research.

He spoke with host Melanie Morris as part of the IMAGE Wellness Project about:

His Goal: To break the Guinness world record for the most money raised for charity by completing marathons.

His Twist: You don't have to donate a penny. He uses corporate sponsors to turn your follow into cash for cancer research.

His Drive: So far… over 18 marathons and 32 half-marathons completed, many in funny costumes, many carrying a (heavily) weighted vest. All while battling Stage 3 glioblastoma to support cancer research.

His Future plans Bigger, bolder, unstoppable, global. See/hear him rewrite the rules of fundraising.
