In 2004 John Reynolds was diagnosed with a severe thyroid condition that left him with seizures and unable to walk.

After setting himself the seemingly impossible challenge of walking to the end of his garden, he realised the key to regaining his strength was being able to walk further each day than the previous one.

Angel On My Shoulder tells John’s remarkable story of overcoming his physical and mental demons, inspired by the tragic loss of two of his closest family members. Follow his incredible journey into ultramarathon running, from entering his first ever half marathon in Midsomer Norton, to setting the Guinness World Record distance of 426 miles in 6 days, 8 hours and 10 minutes.

Through his spectacular fundraising efforts for Children’s Hospice South West, to his dedicated community work, John’s story is nothing short of inspirational.
