Listen Later

Phil Parsons served in the United States Army, when he came home from battle he noticed something had changed deep inside himself. He was no longer the same person, and the person he became no longer wanted to live. After an attempt at taking his own life, he decided to make a change and started running, then he found the incredible world of ultras. No longer in the Army he helps others dealing with PTSD and is running the 444 mile Natchez Trace to race money for a fantastic Veterans organization called the Bravo Alpha Foundation.
