This week, we welcome a great friend to the podcast in Munro Ruigrok. But he also deserves to be on the podcast in his own right, from running mulitple marathons, the Camino and running the Dublin Marathon this year for Chime (Ireland’s national Deaf charity) in support of his son, Colton.
Munro talks about getting into running, meeting Eric and the running scene in Dubai and taking on the Camino!
He also talks about running the Dublin Marathon this October wearing strong noise-cancelling headphones, without sound in symbolic recognition of the deaf experience, and to champion his son - and every deaf child, parent and person navigating a world not always built with them in mind.
