This week, on The Parting Glass we’re joined by the indestructible Ger Copeland, a real-life Terminator whose story will blow your mind! 💪🤖
In February 2024, Ger suffered a freak ski accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury so severe he was given the last rites. With only a 10% chance of survival, he was completely paralyzed and had to relearn how to walk, talk, and eat. Most would have given up – but not Ger. 🙌
Fast forward a few months, and not only is he defying every limit placed on him, but he also completed the Dublin City Marathon! 🏃♂️🔥
Ger lives for a challenge and refuses to accept the impossible.
