He Tore His Calf 6km into Comrades… and Still Finished the Race. For the Kids

Loading player...
He tore his calf 6km into the Comrades Marathon… but still pushed through nearly 90km of pain, grit and heart.

Not for glory. Not for medals. But for something far greater. The kids fighting cancer through CHOC.

In this deeply personal and powerful episode of Good Things with Brent Lindeque, Richard Laskey, the force behind Modern Athlete and one of the iconic Cows, opens up about the race, the reason and the road that got him here.

From battling addiction to losing his wife, Rich has faced unimaginable hardship… but continues to choose purpose, hope and doing good.

This conversation is about more than running. It’s about resilience, humanity and what happens when you keep showing up... even when it hurts.
