Not every man can hear that he has Multiple Sclerosis and decide that he has become even more special.  My guest in this episode did exactly that.  Rick Kent is not only a 4-time 515 finisher and 5-time RAAM finisher, he is also an accomplished sports photographer. 

Rick shares many tips about racing and what were his favourite events that he has both competed and worked at as a photographer.  From the opening questions about his life in Austin, Texas you will be hooked to listening to his tales.

You can contact Rick through DM on Facebook or at his email address [email protected] and ask him your own questions about RAAM if you are considering the race.
