My message to you is to never give up and always seek for solution. And if it's possible, um, if our schedules align and if we can partner together, even if it's just a scout trip for fight for the forgotten, to see if there's a way for us to partner together with Gilbert, with The Gazelle Foundation, with this incredible man you're going to hear was, uh, on, the hundred sexiest men alive in the magazines and, and, uh, yeah, and being invited to The White House.
Imagine surviving a brutal attack that leaves you with burns over 30% of your body, only to turn that tragedy into a mission to help others. That's the story of Gilbert Tuhabonye, the founder of The Gazelle Foundation, which provides clean water to the people of Burundi.
In this episode of 'Overcome with Justin Wren', Gilbert recounts his harrowing experience of escaping an attack in his home country as a teenager and how running played a crucial role in his survival and recovery. Now living in Austin, Texas, Gilbert leads a renowned running group called Gilbert’s Gazelles and continues to expand his foundation's impact in Burundi. His journey is a powerful testament to resilience and the importance of community in overcoming life's toughest challenges.
Tune in to hear how Gilbert's passion for running and helping others has transformed lives, including his own.
