In this week’s podcast, we chat with Luke Taylor and his coach Matt Ramsden.For those who don’t know Luke, his story is nothing short of incredible. He was born at just 24 weeks, weighing only 625 grams. It’s a miracle he survived. Luke spent his first two years on oxygen and was tube-fed, with much of his early life spent in and out of hospital, constantly defying the odds.More recently, Luke has proven that no matter how you start in life, anything is possible with the right mindset. He has just set a National Australian Record for the greatest distance run on a treadmill in seven days, all while raising awareness and funds for premature babies through Telethon and Running for Premature Babies.
