In this powerful and emotional episode of the Roaming Free Podcast, hosts Ian Henderson and Steve Fleming sit down with the incredible Kevin Webber — an endurance runner, motivational speaker, and fundraiser who has raised over £1 million for Prostate Cancer UK since his diagnosis in 2014. Now living with stage 4 cancer, Kevin shares his extraordinary journey of resilience, purpose, and pushing the limits of what’s possible.

From completing ultramarathons across the globe to receiving the British Empire Medal on the Queen’s Birthday Honours List, Kevin’s story is a testament to courage, hope, and living life without regrets. We discuss his philosophy on life, reflected in his powerful quote: “You only have two lives, and the second one starts when you realise you only have one.” We also explore inspiration drawn from Julian Lennon’s song Saltwater — “What will I think of me the day I die?” — a line that fuels Kevin’s passion for making every moment count.

This episode is more than a conversation about running; it’s about embracing life, giving back, and inspiring others to step outside, challenge themselves, and support meaningful causes.

If you’ve ever needed motivation to get outdoors, take action, or simply appreciate the present moment, Kevin’s story will stay with you long after the episode ends.
