Corona Diaries #20 From unfit at 40 to blackbelt kickboxer - Jimmy McCarthy's story

25/07/20

Just after Jimmy’s family threw him a surprise 40th birthday party, he realised he wanted to set himself a challenge that would test him physically, mentally, and emotionally…and he was going to give himself until he hit 50 to achieve it!

 

10 years later, he was a blackbelt kickboxer but it hadn’t been easy, there were ups and downs, both physically and mentally, including being told by a nurse 7 years into his challenge that he was morbidly obese!

 

Jimmy’s inspirational story brings the phrase “age is just a number” to life.
