Darren Edwards completed 7 marathons in 7 days. He challenges others to “risk failure” and “dream big.”
Edwards was injured in a near-fatal climbing accident in August 2016, which left him paralyzed from the chest down, he wrote on his fundraising page.
“I was incredibly fortunate to survive, but life would never be the same again,” he wrote. “I have been on a journey of rediscovery and have refused to let disability stop me from dreaming big and taking on tough challenges.”There is, perhaps, no tougher challenge than the World Marathon Challenge.The first race took place on January 31 in the Antarctic Circle. From there, racers traveled to Cape Town , Perth , Dubai , Madrid , Fortaleza , and Miami .
Edwards completed the Antarctica race in 5:48:37 before slashing his time in South Africa, with 2:52:04. In Australia, he finished in 2:36:30, in the heat. Next, he finished in 2:23 in Asia. The travel and racing began to take a toll. Edwards completed his European leg in 3:23:05. Then, he finished the South American race in 2:36:59.
