Along the way, he has found purpose, strength, and a sense of belonging through movement and connection. Whether you're a runner, parent, or just looking for inspiration, Brodie's story is a powerful reminder of how one step at a time can lead to something extraordinary. πŸ… World Record Attempt: Beginning August 26, Brodie will take on an incredible challenge β€” attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the most consecutive marathons run by a male living with Type 1 diabetes. That's 26 marathons in 26 days. And on Day 27 (September 21), he'll keep pushing, competing in the Western Sydney Half Ironman, with his brother by his side. Living with Type 1 for nearly six years, Brodie's mission is clear: raise $26,000 for the Type 1 Foundation and prove that life with diabetes has no finish line. πŸ’¬ What We Cover: * Brodie's diagnosis story and navigating life with T1D from age 15 * How running helped him regain control and confidence * The story behind the Guinness World Record relay and what it meant * The creation of TypeRun_ and the power of community * Using movement as a tool for physical and mental wellbeing * Advice for anyone wanting to take that first step β€” on the track or in their T1D journey πŸ”— Connect with Brodie: Follow Brodie on Instagram: Typerun_ [https://www.instagram.com/typerun_/]Donate here [https://www.mycause.com.au/page/372931/type-runs-world-record-attempt?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacFaVCX1kAMOEz5n5Y0eZotGkMCVInhPh_pgxuvgGteQsJd-mij5UXhMNLWRg_aem_Ng7T4i_ETBQ0fWDBv9Tv7A] Further Res… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/type-1-club-podcast-7088867/episodes/episode-21-running-toward-a-world-record-brodie-s-type-1-story/transcription-requests` β€” Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/type-1-club-podcast-7088867/episode-21-running-toward-a-world-record-brodie-s-type-1-story.md` β€” Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
