Introducing Our Newest Author

Anthony Copeland-Parker writes

Running All Over the World; Our Race Against Early-Onset Alzheimer's

After life-altering diagnoses which would sideline most people to the security of their home and an easy chair, Anthony Copeland-Parker and his partner Catherine decide to push every boundary and live a life beyond full...instead to overflowing.

Anthony writes:

Just like the attitude Catherine takes towards running a marathon, she takes when it comes to her diagnosis of Early Onset Alzheimer’s. She just puts her head down, puts one foot in front of the other, and never gives up. Catherine’s resilience or reserve is anything athletic, so we combine that with our love of travel. Catherine has completed 83 marathons, one Iron Man Competition, a 50 miler Ultra Marathon and many races and triathlons of various distances.

During our years as nomads, we've pushed our physical and mental limitations as often as we could - and we finished every race hand in hand.
