This episode is a special one, as I am joined by Justine Nunn, the wife of the late Alex Flynn who was a previous guest featured on episode 18 of this podcast. Alex was an extraordinary man, who I had the pleasure of interviewing in lockdown, when he wasn't travelling the world doing his extreme jaw dropping adventures. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at the age of 36 years old. Alex fought relentlessly to educate and breakdown the barriers of stigma and lack of understanding on what Parkinson's disease is. He ran around the world raising funds and in 2021 set himself the challenge to climb Everest. Alex died of altitude sickness having completed Meera Peak, the second preparatory climb in this mission.   This episode is dedicated to his memory, in remembrance of his relentless strength, energy, and determination to achieve whatever he set his mind to, irrespective of his diagnosis. Justine describes what it was like being married to Alex and seeing him overcome his struggles with Parkinson's disease which has now inspired Justine to help families around the world by raising awareness and funds to help families living with Parkinson's Disease. For full information visit www.alexflynn.co.uk to provide practical help to families affected by Parkinson's.   In this episode, we talked about: [02:23] How Justine and Alex met; from childhood friendship to marriage. [04:06] Alex's diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. [05:03] What it was like to be with Alex Flynn [11:35] Living with Alex and his struggles with Parkinson's disease. [16:35] Which of his adventures Justine admired the most [19:10] What she saw was the greatest challenge for him physically [20:21] A new chapter in Alex's work on Parkinson's disease awareness; the family perspective. [28:19] The reality of living with Parkinson's disease. [36:18] The best thing about being married to Alex [39:30] Grieving Alex's passing. [51:51] Staying unstressable in grief . [54:17] What Alex would of liked to be remembered for   Key Quotes: "Everybody's journey with Parkinson's is very very different"   "Parkinson's disease does not kill you; you don't die of Parkinson's disease"   "With all people living with Parkinson's, exercise and diet is key to living with this disease, as is the medication, and if you stop one, potentially, you're going to lose something else"   "Every single challenge he did was incredible but I think his biggest achievement was just to keep going"   "You can sit there and you can feel sorry for yourself or you can do something about it"   Resources Alex's awareness campaign for Parkinson's disease Listen to Alex's episode on this podcast   Connect with Alice At www.lawali-life.com  On Instagram: @lawali_life

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Justine Nunn, whose partner Alex Flynn recently passed away, from altitude sickness, just after he had summited Mira Peak, in Nepal. Alex had Parkinson´s, but he did not let that stop him from living his life to the full and helping others. He worked tirelessly to raise awareness and provide practical support to those living with Parkinson´s. Justine was with him every step of the way. She is now working to carry Alex´s legacy forward.   Jeannette and Justine talk about how Alex found the strength to run through Jungles, across America, London, Rome, and ultra-marathons, despite his disease. They talk about the symptoms of this extremely common disease and what to look out for. Justine also explains how she, Alex, and their boys adapted to the impact Parkinson´s had on their family lives. Justine also talks about how society treats people with the disease and how things need to change.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   One in 15 people will be diagnosed with Parkinson´s and the numbers are growing. Parkinson´s affects people of all ages. It is not an old person´s disease. It cannot be cured. But it can be managed through diet and exercise. Parkinson´s is a personal journey. It is different for everyone. People with Parkinson´s can be fully productive members of staff. Often, with only minor adaptations. For Alex, a qualified lawyer, getting a job was impossible. This is often the case for people with Parkinson´s. Often, it is little tweaks in the way things are done that make a big difference to how easy it is for people with Parkinson´s to live their lives.   BEST MOMENTS ‘There was no challenge that wasn´t big enough for him (Alex) to go for. ´ ‘Parkinson´s is not an old person´s disease.' ‘People need to understand… inclusion needs to be there.' ‘Businesses need to see the person as opposed to the disease.' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Having known Alex since the age of 11 years old the two of them have remained in contact and over the past 5 years become a couple.   Justine is a freelance artist and marketing manager for a local Oxfordshire charity Parkinsons.Me. Since Alex's death in November 2021, she has used her strength to take his story forward with a new direction, focusing on the families living with Parkinson's. 'You have choices; you can either sit and feel sorry for yourself or you can get off your backside and make change'.   ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

"It ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."- Rocky Balboa The world is definitely not made of sunshine and rainbows. Life will keep knocking you out every chance it gets, but how do we combat it, how do we win? In today's episode, I dive into Carol Dweck's coined terms, Growth and Fixed Mindsets. In her book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, she details how your view of yourself can dictate everything. I also commemorate my good friend, Alex Flynn, one of the best examples of people with a growth mindset, and how he never let Parkinson's disease hinder him from being a true adventurer. Highlights: -A lot of people want to grow but they don't want to do the work. -Having a fixed mindset means you have to constantly prove yourself correct. -Growth mindset is believing that the hand you've been dealt with is just the beginning. You can get better at everything. Some important timestamps in this episode: (7:28) Ronnie O'Sullivan's story about how a kid thinks he's just lucky because he is talented. (12:01 and 20:03) Alex Flynn's inspiring story about wanting to go to the top of Mt. Everest amidst his battle with Parkinson's disease.

This episode is extra special. It's with great regret that I have to let you all know that unfortunately Alex passed away recently whilst he was in Nepal. Alex was an incredible human being and a force for good in this world. His legacy in raising awareness for Parkinsons will continue through his family, friends, the charities that he supported and all those who's lives he touched. For me it was a particular honour to be able to speak with Alex and help spread the word about Parkinsons which was so important to him. For that reason I wanted to re-release this episode that we recorded back in March this year, in Alex's honour.   Please continue to support Alex and his family through his website and social media. Alex Flynn one of the bravest, boldest and most brilliant people I have had the privilege to know -  rest in peace! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During the podcast, Alex explains how he achieved that mindset, to help others to do the same and overcome the challenges in their own lives. In 2022, he will be climbing Everest to “put Parkinson´s on top of the world”. Alex talks about how he plans to do that, and the role listeners can play in helping him to achieve that challenge.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Parkinson´s affects far more people than you think (1 in 15). It is a debilitating neurological condition that gradually takes away your ability to move and function. People with these conditions lose self-confidence, self-worth, and their position in society. Parkinson´s crushes you physically that can in turn lead to your being crushed spiritually. Despite Parkinson´s Alex has still completed many arduous physical challenges. For some Parkinson´s sufferers crossing their living room is their Everest. Setting and achieving smaller physical goals generates strength to carry on and achieve the much bigger physical challenges. Seize every opportunity and take it as far as you can go. Strength is not a physical thing. Strength is deciding to never give up and having the courage to take the next step.   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

A special Mindset Moment this week reserved for a very special man. We pay tribute to Alex Flynn, who sadly passed away over the weekend. Alex was our last guest of Series 1. Please go back and listen (or re-listen) to episode 024 of Mindset Musings, Alex's courage and determination will not only blow your mind but prove of huge inspiration to anyone that listens. Alex was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at the age of 36, and with 1 in 37 of us in the UK set to experience this disease in our lifetime, Alex, and people like him have taken it upon themselves to fight back. According to a statement released by his loved ones, Alex passed away whilst doing what he loved the most, challenging himself. Having run hundreds of marathons, ultra marathons and physical challenges that even the most fit person would struggle to even think about starting, Alex wanted to be the example of what can be achieved whilst living with the fastest growing neurological disease there is. He aimed to be the first ever person living with Parkinson's to climb Everest, and it was during this challenge that the great man passed his final finish line. The fight will continue we are sure in Alex's name.

We have reached the penultimate episode of the series, and what an episode we have for you guys this week! Quite rightly (due to our backgrounds) the vast majority of our podcasts have been looking at the entrepreneurial side of mindset and success habits, however this week's episode makes most of our discussions (from an importance point of view) so far seem pretty small scale. Alex Flynn was only in his mid 30s when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's is now the fastest growing neurological disease there is…and there is still no cure. Alex explains that merely moving to the other side of the room for most in the advanced stages of Parkinson's can be a monumental test of self will. When we consider what Alex has decided to do to raise money and awareness for Parkinsons suffers therefore…it truly is astounding. Alex has already completed 10,000,000 metre challenge, running, cycling and climbing his way across continents, including ultra marathons and other insane physical feats. Alex's goal is to become the first person diagnosed with Parkinson's to climb Mount Everest. This episode is pure mindset, determination and resilience, and if nothing else provides huge perspective when facing challenges of our own. Alex you are a true inspiration and thank you for speaking with us.

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Alex Flynn who is an adventurer, writer, successful lawyer, and public speaker. He is a passionate advocate for Parkinson´s.

Alex explains how the diagnosis led to deep depression, which he was able to overcome to become a highly effective advocate and fund-raiser for Parkinson’s sufferers. He shares details of how he built up his mental strength and resilience. To the point where he has been able to complete numerous extreme physical endurance challenges. Including multiple fund-raising extreme marathons and desert runs.

In 2008, at the age of 36, Alex Flynn discovered he had Parkinson's Disease, a degenerative, chronic, and currently incurable neurological condition which, over time, robs sufferers of the ability to move. Nevertheless, Alex entered the MDS the following year only for circumstances to leave him lost, alone, in the Sahara.  Still, Alex continued, eventually conquering the MDS and going on to complete his own '10 Million Metre' challenge, covering 10,000km over the next few years all in support of Parkinson's charities. He is now preparing for another hard year of racing and mountaineering followed by an attempt to be the first person with Parkinson's to reach the top of Everest. In this episode, Will and Alex chat about carrying on in the face of adversity, and finding new purpose when your whole life has changed.

In today's episode I am joined by the remarkable Alex Flynn, who is an adventurist. Alex was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease at 36 years old (since 2008) and decided to raise funds for and awareness of Parkinson's disease - since then he has undertaken some of the most gruelling challenges around the world. In this episode we talked all about the reality of the disease, the incredible challenges he has undertaken to raise money for Parkinson's UK and to try to find a cure. How he uses his mind to keep his body going during these challenges and how mentally compartmentalising his pain through them, is what has allowed him to achieve the things he has. “Rarely does one hear about such an inspirational and heroic Briton as Alex Flynn. The challenges he has successfully undertaken would be considered seriously hard by anyone's standards and are, in my view, independently worthy of recognition.” – Sir Ranulph Fiennes OBE   Alex's diagnosis became the catalyst in his life for showing people the possibility of creating positive change in the face of adversity. He can be found doing some of the more complex, unexpected and surprising challenges across the planet to raise awareness and hopefully more than £1million towards vital research to find a cure.    Under the banner of a challenge entitled 10MillionMetres, Alex has completed many marathons, ultra endurance races, and triathlons, examples of which include:   Completing the gruelling Marathon des Sables (250 km race across the Sahara Desert);   running 160 miles across the Bavarian Alps in 52 hours;   1,457 miles from London to Rome in 30 days to meet the Pope (400 miles of which was run with a stress fractured right tibia and completing the first 20 marathons in 10 days); and   becoming the first person to traverse the 3,256 miles from Santa Monica to New York using four distinct disciplines. He achieved this distance in 35 days and appeared on BBC One, One show over two consecutive nights.   In 2013 he crossed 200km of the Amazon Jungle, climbed and ran 90 km of the Dolomites and 236 km across the Colorado Rockies, achieving all three within an 8-week period;    On the 24th January 2014, the 10MillionMetres Challenge was completed at the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon. He had covered a distance more than 6,200 miles around the world.   In the summer of 2015, he competed in the Men's Health USA Ultimate Guy Competition, successfully reaching the final nine competitors out of over 1000 including Special Forces and the US Marines.  He was also honoured by the then UK Prime Minister, David Cameron.   2016 brought a new challenge of completing 5,566 press-ups in 22 days to raise funds and awareness of PTSD, which affects military personnel and first responders. Alex managed to continue for 18 days reaching total of 3,762 press-ups before his shoulder gave out.   In February 2017, Alex returned from the Arctic after attempting a 450 km expedition of Sweden's Kungsleden (Kings trail) in freezing temperatures of -29°C. His participation was cut short due to Alex ripping a tendon in his right ankle. Undeterred, he continued to pull a 135lb pulk and 10kg backpack across a further 25km, including two mountain passes before the onset of hypothermia caused Alex to call it a day.    In 2018, he undertook the brutal and extremely challenging Lost Islands Ultra in Fiji, flying round the world to present the Alex Flynn award for and on behalf of the Cure Parkinson's Trust and two weeks after finishing the Fiji ultra, Alex completed the Virgin Money London Marathon.   In September 2018 Alex flew to British Columbia, Canada to take part in Primal Quest. As part of a team, which included five times world adventure racing Champion Mike Klosser, they took on the Primal Quest Pursuit Race across 240 miles of mountainous and challenging terrain including glaciers, and white water rapids in big Bear Country. The team completed the challenge in four days and five hours despite Alex suffering badly with Parkinson's and also a slipped disc in his neck cutting off any feeling to his right arm and hand.   So far in 2020, during lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, Alex decided to take on and complete his Isolation Double Everest Challenge. The idea was simple, to raise money for Parkinson's UK, Alex would climb a vertical Marathon (26.21 miles/42.196 m) up the stairs in his house.  This required him to climb and descend his stairs 3516 times covering approx 210,600 stairs. The distance vertically would be the same as 2.3 times the height of Everest. It took Alex 7.5 days to successfully complete the ascent.    Sir Ranulph Fiennes, OBE, stated that Alex's effort was "Herculean" emphasising both the physical and mental strength to achieve the distance.   There's more to come...   Alex says: “I've decided to do this as there has to be better treatments or even a cure for a disease that robs, the young and old alike, of their independence, their ability to move, talk, swallow, have sex, write, in fact everything most people take for granted. If I told you that the youngest person diagnosed was a 2 year old boy you might come close to experiencing the anger I feel towards this disease. We have to do something!”   “I want a cure for millions around the planet and hope you do too. Together we can make change happen!” #KeepMoving    www.alexflynn.co.uk

1 in every 37 people will get Parkinson's. 1 in 20 are under the age of 40. The youngest diagnosed was a 2 year old. This is NOT an old persons disease like most of us think. You don't get any symptoms until 80% of the neurones in your brain are dead..Two days after his 36th birthday, Alex Flynn sat to drink his breakfast coffee and noticed his finger was shaking involuntarily. Thinking it was a one off, he thought nothing of it. Until it happened again a few days later. Told it was probably nerve damage after a sporting accident a few years before, they felt there was little to be too concerned about, until he went to have a scan and he was told that he had Parkinson's Disease. .This raw, open, humbling chat opened my eyes. I sat and chatted to my friend who did not stop involuntarily shaking before me for the entire duration. He had no respite. There is no cure. There is little support system in place for sufferers. .Since diagnosis Alex has done the Marathon des sables - the toughest foot race on earth - 251km across the Sahara desert in searing heat - the worlds toughest ultramarathon; He decided to do a challenge which he called ‘10 MillionMetres’, I'll let him tell you about what that entailed... its insane.He competed in the Men’s Health USA Ultimate Guy Competition, reaching the final nine competitors of over 1100. Amongst these competitors were included Special Forces members as well as US Marines. That year also saw him honoured by the UK Prime Minister at the time, David Cameron..He has completed his first book that chronicles his 10 Million Meters Challenge which will be published soon. A documentary film of his adventures has also been produced for television..What is coming up for him this year is literally unreal. You wont believe it. But it will be worth it. He is desperate to raise awareness for this heartbreaking disease. .For Alex it's too late but, my god, if he felt he was able to protect anyone else from going through what he is going through, I know he would be a happy man. .I cannot tell you how incredible this human is but this chat gives you a pretty good idea ;-) .Help Alex show the world "Parkinson's isn't the end of someones life, it's the beginning of a new journey. It's about challenging perception, creating hope, and hopefully realising better treatments for me and millions of people around the world".www.alexflynn.co.ukFacebook: Alex Flynn - Keep Moving - My Fight Against Parkinson's.
