In this first episode, Jordan Adams opens up about living with a terminal prognosis, finding purpose through pain and what it means to keep moving forward when the future feels uncertain. Through extraordinary running challenges, Jordan is turning something deeply personal into a mission to raise awareness, drive change and find a cure.
