SUMMARY:Park Talk Series
DESCRIPTION:THE SECRET MARATHON \nIn 2016\, Martin Parnell went on a journey that many believed was madness: running a marathon in Afghanistan in a quest to fight for women’s rights and gender equality. Of course\, this was not the first time he had been called crazy. In 2010 he had run 250 marathons in one year\, and in 2013 he had climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in 21 hours. Those two endeavours were part of his “Quest for Kids” initiative\, which raised $1.3-million for the humanitarian organization Right To Play and gave the gift of hope to over 27\,000 children around the world. It was while recovering from a rare and life-threatening blood clot on his brain that Martin had read about Zainab\, the first woman to run a marathon in Afghanistan. He was so inspired by her story that he decided that if he was able to recover from his illness he would run with her at the next “Marathon of Afghanistan” in support of rights for girls and women. In The Secret Marathon\, audience members will be transported to a country of beauty\, hardship and complexity\, sharing in the despair\, resilience and friendliness of the Afghan people as they strive for freedom and equality for themselves and their fellow citizens. \n  \nMartin works with Organizations and Associations to develop a “Finish The Race Attitude: Set Goals\, Overcome Obstacles and Achieve Outstanding Results”.  He is an International Keynote and TEDx Speaker\, Workshop Facilitator\, Philanthropist\, Author and Multi Guinness World Record holder. \nMartin sets goals and achieves them including running 250 marathons in one year\, setting five Guinness World Records in endurance events and summiting Mount Kilimanjaro in 21 hours. \nMartin has published three books and is Executive Producer of “THE SECRET MARATHON” documentary. Now is the time to achieve your goal!
