Join us for an inspiring online talk from Martin Parnell, the author of The Secret Marathon.
Join us on Zoom here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83966821584.
In 2016, Martin Parnell went on a journey that many believed was madness: running a marathon in Afghanistan in a quest to fight for women’s rights and gender equality.
It was while recovering from a life-threatening and rare blood clot on his brain that Martin had read about Zainab, the first woman to run a marathon in Afghanistan. He was so inspired by her story that he decided that if he was able to recover from his illness he would run with her at the next “Marathon of Afghanistan” in support of rights for girls and women.
What follows is an inspiring story of solidarity with the brave Afghan women who are standing up for equality and freedom, by running in the marathon of Afghanistan.
