Episode 66: A Wellness Wahala Bike Journey from London to Lagos (VIP Guest: Kunle Adeyanju)

Wellness and Wahala

Wellness Wahala Warriors, I have a special VIP guest today- the legendary Mr. Kunle Adeyanju: the famous Rotarian and Biker 🚴‍♀️ who rode his bike from London to Lagos. I was glad to host the show today in partnership with Linkway Diplomats show and Nigerians in Diaspora Organization (NIDO) South Savannah & NIDO radio. He was recently featured on CNN and here is a brief overview of our discussion and his empowering story; “Lagos, Nigeria (CNN) — Kunle Adeyanju is a self-confessed daredevil who has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro twice and cycled from Lagos to Accra over three days. But it is his latest adventure that is creating a buzz after he successfully completed a motorcycle ride from London to Lagos. The journey took 41 days as he traveled 13,000 kilometers (8,080 miles) through 11 countries and 31 cities. Adeyanju embarked on the trip partly to raise money for polio, in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Ikoyi Metro, Nigeria, where he is president-elect. He says he chose the cause because of a childhood friend who suffered from the debilitating illness. "Polio is a personal thing for me... as a boy, my best friend had polio and when we go swimming or play football, he could do none of those things.. Sadly, my friend passed away some years back. If he hadn't had polio, he probably will still be alive today." The World Health Organization declared Nigeria free of wild polio virus in 2020, but there are still some vaccine-derived cases in the country.” To listen to the full interview live please visit Linkway diplomats YouTube channel and drop your comments, like and share at this link: https://youtu.be/Au0lb_uqaZc --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wellesswahala/support
