In this episode, we sit down with Kelly, an ultra marathon runner who turned his life around after battling addiction and surviving a near-fatal organ failure. Today, he runs 100+ mile races and leads with purpose as the founder of the Gratitude and Grace Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals on their recovery journey.
Kelly shares how endurance running became a tool for rebuilding his life, staying focused, and giving back to the community. His story is a powerful reminder of resilience, the power of second chances, and what it means to find meaning through movement.
If you’re looking for a story about transformation, grit, and purpose-driven living, this episode delivers.
