In this episode, Harry is joined by Leodhais Macpherson, a Newcastle native who ran 128 marathons in 128 days to honour his brother, Connor, who lost his life to suic*de at just 21 years old.
What began as a simple effort to fundraise donations allowed Leodhais to openly speak about his brother for the first time in 7 years, with the support of family, friends, and a growing online community of over 25 thousand people.
Question The Default is in support of Campaign Against Living Miserably.
