Meet the Runner

My name is Aidan, and my goal is to travel around the world while inspiring others to explore and live an active life. From mountain trails to city streets, I will share my travel adventures and running tips  – while trying to give back to the communities I meet. Join me as I chase new experiences, push my limits, and prove that taking one step can change the world.

42Forward Charity Runs

42Forward is my way of turning kilometers into meaningful change. Every time I run a 42 km marathon in a less-developed community, I “pay it forward” by donating 42 essential items to a local charity. It could be 42 kilograms of food, 42 books for a school, or 42 toys for children – the goal is to help the communities I visit and inspire others to do the same. I started 42Forward because travel opened my eyes to the challenges many communities face, and I wanted to do more than just pass through. I also prefer when can actually see the impact we create, instead of giving money to some organization where it may or may not end up where you want it to go. This project is about running with purpose, pushing your limits on what you think is possible, and making the world a little brighter.
