Listen Later

In this episode of The Cowbell, we talk to Mick Marshall @mickmarshall_ , an endurance athlete who shares his extraordinary journey of resilience and determination.

After a life-altering fall from a wind turbine in 2021 left him with severe injuries, multiple surgeries, chronic pain, and a condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), Mick faced immense physical and emotional challenges.

Despite it all, he fought his way back to endurance sports, running the Ballarat Marathon, setting an adaptive athlete world record at the Melbourne Marathon, competing as part of GPT 100 Miler Relay team, and conquering Hyrox Melbourne.

Mick's story is a powerful testament to the human spirit and the fight to reclaim a life of purpose and passion.
