Courage, Craniotomy and Campaigns: Inside the King of Chemo's Mission

    In this powerful episode of Kevjet The Podcast, Kevin sits down with Iain Ward, better known online as the King of Chemo, whose journey with terminal brain cancer is as courageous as it is inspiring. Diagnosed with glioblastoma after what he calls a “freak MRI” despite feeling completely healthy, Iain has transformed his prognosis into a mission — using marathon running as a force for fundraising, awareness, and hope.  Over the course of the conversation, Iain reflects on how he earned his nickname, how he turned his online presence (@thekingofchemo) into a vehicle for change, and the way social media has impacted both his mental health and his purpose. He also goes deep into his treatment choices — from brain surgery while awake to chemotherapy and regular scans — and shares how optimism and positivity guide him through the darkest times. But this episode isn’t just about struggle: it’s about legacy. Iain speaks passionately about his fundraising goals (he’s raised hundreds of thousands so far), his record-breaking running challenges — like completing 32 half-marathons across Ireland in 32 consecutive days while wearing a 32lb weighted vest — and his vision for leaving something that outlives him. Tune in as we explore what it truly means to live well, even when time is uncertain — and how one person’s extraordinary mission can spark real-world impact.   https://thekingofchemo.com/
