From 394 lbs to ultramarathons, from surviving a workplace shooting to overcoming PTSD—this is the story of Aaron Lee Burros, “The Running Servant.” In this episode of Rosabel Unscripted Podcast, Aaron shares how faith, resilience, and running transformed his life. Discover how he lost 178 lbs, survived being shot five times, and turned his pain into purpose with a mission to run 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 weeks to raise money for St. Jude. His story proves that healing is possible when you become the CEO of your own mental health.
