Not A Runner: A true story of tragedy, determination and paying it forward - Reginald J. Willick

Willick, Reginald J.: - Reg Willick is a retired business owner and lifelong builder-both in construction and in life. He took up running at fifty, spurred by tragedy, a health scare, and the urging of his wife, Janice, proving it's never too late to embrace new challenges. A seasoned world traveller, Reg has lived in three countries, collecting a lifetime of experiences-some good, some difficult-that have shaped his perspective. Early doubts from others in both business and life only fueled his determination and strengthened his commitment to paying it forward. \n \nReg is also an aviation enthusiast. He has piloted small aircraft and is drawn to anything that takes to the skies. He thrives on adventure, whether it's pushing himself physically, exploring new places, or seizing life's opportunities. His philosophy is simple: don't wait-do it now. Take the trip, make the memories, and live with no regrets. And if you ever meet him, you'll quickly discover his gift of gab, sharp wit, and just the right twist of humour to keep things interesting. \n \nReg now divides his time between summers in Vancouver, British Columbia, and winters in Indio, California, alongside Janice, his wife of forty-two years, and their two teacup Maltese, Jabori and Jasiri.
