Eric Tozer

In this episode I talk to Eric Tozer who is a type 1 diabetic and an endurance athlete. Eric most notably has recently completed the World Marathon Challenge which involves running 7 marathons across 7 continents in 7 days – you read that correctly – that’s just under 300km of running in 7 days! Eric has also run across America with a team of diabetics, he has competed in several Ironman triathlons and running races. Eric is the co-founder of Diabetes Sports Project which is an organization of diabetic athletes that empowers others to live a healthy, responsible and active lives. Throughout my chat with Eric, I was amazed by Eric’s positive outlook on life with diabetes and how he uses his diabetes as a vehicle to inspire and spread awareness about diabetes. Every now and then throughout life you meet certain individuals that leave an enduring impression on you and impart their positivity and belief – Eric is one of those individuals. At certain parts of the episode, there must have been deep sea creatures nibbling on the internet cables between Australia and the US therefore briefly at a couple of points in the episode, the audio is a bit flaky so apologies for this.
