My guest this week on the Over 50 Health & Wellness podcast is Jo White. Jo is a 54 year old husband, father, and adventure training instructor. Jo is also a cancer survivor and a cancer fighter. In 2014 Jo was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer and had an operation to remove part of his bowel, liver, small intestine, and finally his entire pancreas. Then in 2018 he received news that he had a secondary tumor on his liver and was put on Chemotherapy tablets for the rest of his life. Rather than giving up, Jo decided to get back into fantastic shape and in May of 2020 started an initiative called the 365 Days of Action, where he got outside and exercised every day and covered 9,679 kilometers and 138,807 meters in elevation as a fund raiser for charities. Now that that is completed, Jo is launching a new challenge this fall called 1,000 Mountains, where he plans on climbing – you guessed it – 1,000 mountains in the next ten years, again for charity. Join us this week as Jo shares his inspirational story and how he manages to keep pushing, and never gives up!
