#158 - Using Terminal Brain Cancer Against Itself To Break A Charity World Record I The King Of Chemo 💙
Tuesday, 21 April, 2026
On this episode of The RunThrough Podcast, Iain Ward, better known as The King of Chemo, joins host Ben Sheppard for a proper, open conversation that goes way beyond running.At 31, Iain was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, but instead of letting that define him, he flipped it on its head. He is now on a mission to break a charity world record by building a huge social media following and turning that into sponsorship money for good causes, rather than asking the public to donate.Ben and Iain chat through everything from marathons in carrying 20KG of weight in wild costumes, to the reality of hearing that diagnosis and how it changes your outlook. They get into mindset, pressure, relationships, social media, and what it actually takes to keep going when things feel overwhelming.There are serious moments, plenty of honest reflections, and also a lot of humour along the way. Iain’s perspective on life, and the way he approaches it, makes this one really stand out. A genuinely powerful watch, you will be thinking about long after it ends.The King of Chemo - https://www.instagram.com/thekingofchemo/Ben Sheppard - https://www.instagram.com/bensheppard93/
