I wrote a love letter to all parkrun volunteers last week. I’ve had feedback that it wasn’t me who wrote the letter 😱. Fact is, I wrote it. Of course it was edited. I’m writing to one million people.

I broke my leg at 12 and thought being a doctor seemed helpful.
Now after treating thousands of patients, I know the truth:
Prevention beats treatment.
Community beats isolation.
Small habits beat big gestures.
Parkrun teaches all three.
