Iain Liam Ward (AKA TheKingofChemo) is a fitness trainer, Youtuber and genuinely the most inspirational person I have ever had the chance of meeting.

After signing up to a medical trial in 2020, Iain underwent an MRI scan and was given a shock diagnosis of Stage 3 brain cancer. He was given a prognosis of 5 years. Instead of letting this consume him, he set off on a mission to break as many fundraising records as he possibly can. 


In today's episode:

  • Iain takes us through what a diagnosis can teach you about how to approach life
  • How to channel a potential negative into something positive
  • His plans for the future with his fundraising and ever-growing social media following
  • The importance of humour for dealing with adversity
