Our co-founder, Gilbert Tuhabonye, is featured in Going Scared: Podcast with host Jessica Honegger. In the Current Series: Habits for Highly Hesitant Habit Keepers he and host Jessica Honegger discuss his incredible story of growing up in Burundi, Africa on a peaceful mountainside surrounded by family, discovering the sport of running as a child, and later surviving ethnic genocide at his school.
Gilbert survived but was badly burned and doctors told him he would not run again. But what doctors could not foresee, was the resilience, and greater purpose of Gilbert and his life story. And how he is inspired to run with joy.
Go outside. Enjoy the nature, have fun, take a look around you, enjoy every breath you take because there's someone out there who cannot run.
— Gilbert Tuhabonye
In the podcast Gilbert shares his habits of movement, starting the running a group Gilbert’s Gazelles, people who motivate him every single day, and the inception of the Gazelle Foundation.
As Jessica says in the podcast, we all need a little inspiration to get out of bed and move our bodies in the morning, and Gilbert’s story is the kickstart needed to pick up the habit of movement again!
Goals don’t matter if we don’t build in the habits to get us there. Let’s learn together how to build courageous habits into our lives so we can live beyond our fears and keep going.
