From The Light Watkins Show
40 minutes
In this bite-sized plot twist episode of The Light Watkins Show, we revisit the incredible turning point in Martinus Evans’ life—a journey fueled by defiance, resilience, and a desire to prove the naysayers wrong. It all began with a random hip injury that led to a doctor's blunt and humiliating diagnosis: "You're fat, and you'll die if you try to run a marathon." For most, such words might have been crushing, but for Martinus, they sparked a fire.
