Description
He's not going the wrong way, he's just going HIS way! In this episode of Talk About It, Greg sits down in studio with Loren Zitomersky - A.K.A. the "Backwards Guy." Loren has gained a ton of publicity over the years for attempting to break the world record for fastest marathon run backwards, and he does it all in the name of raising awareness for epilepsy! Before he was born, Loren's dad had a son who tragically died due to SUDEP, so he has devoted his athletic life to his brother's memory. Collectively, he has done over 80 interviews or televised segments with Inside Edition, the Boston Globe, Runner's World, the Associated Press, as well as various local and international news outlets, and has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for epilepsy research! In addition to being Backwards Guy, he also runs a very popular social media channel called The Legal Beef. From his exdperience as a corporate lawyer, Loren is now harnessing his knowledge and expertise to provide the public with legal breakdowns and advice from viral social media clips. Naturally, his passion for epilepsy advocacy was eventually going to find its way into this venture, so we are so excited to be partnering with Loren on a series of short videos he produces for Talk About It on caregivers and epilepsy-related legal questions! Go to our website at TalkAboutIt.org to find those short clips. Know your rights, and also know that when you feel like you are going backwards sometimes, you're still moving forwards in the big picture. Talk About It with Greg Grunberg is excited to be sponsored by Neurelis and by Jazz Pharmaceuticals.
