029. Mindset Moment 10 - A Tribute to the Inspirational Adventurer, Alex Flynn

A special Mindset Moment this week reserved for a very special man. We pay tribute to Alex Flynn, who sadly passed away over the weekend. Alex was our last guest of Series 1. Please go back and listen (or re-listen) to episode 024 of Mindset Musings, Alex's courage and determination will not only blow your mind but prove of huge inspiration to anyone that listens. Alex was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at the age of 36, and with 1 in 37 of us in the UK set to experience this disease in our lifetime, Alex, and people like him have taken it upon themselves to fight back.  According to a statement released by his loved ones, Alex passed away whilst doing what he loved the most, challenging himself. Having run hundreds of marathons, ultra marathons and physical challenges that even the most fit person would struggle to even think about starting, Alex wanted to be the example of what can be achieved whilst living with the fastest growing neurological disease there is. He aimed to be the first ever person living with Parkinson's to climb Everest, and it was during this challenge that the great man passed his final finish line.  The fight will continue we are sure in Alex's name.
