00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:06.519
I'm Johnny Maick with five good news
stories. Congratulations Gary McKee, he ran

2
00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:10.679
a marathon every single day of twenty
twenty two. Nice job. He raised

3
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:14.960
over one million pounds for cancer charities. This story from the Mirror, Gary

4
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.879
said, I haven't had a beer
all year. I've abstained from it.

5
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:21.640
The local brewery has been making a
marathon man beer and they've been selling like

6
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:25.440
hotcakes while all profits going to my
fundraising page. This streak of three hundred

7
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:29.800
and sixty five marathons no joke.
He's previously run one hundred and one hundred

8
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:32.759
ten marathons in a row, and
he said, you get used to running

9
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.600
one hundred and eighty five miles a
week. Wow. I ran with a

10
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.399
guy this week that did one hundred
and thirty six miles with me and can

11
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.439
run sub at three hour marathons.
He didn't understand how I did it,

12
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.719
But when you make a commitment,
you have to go through with what you

13
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.920
say. I'm still excited to open
the door and see who's coming with me

14
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.600
because I've had a bit of a
hamstring injury that slowed me down. But

15
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.119
what that's done is allowed more people
to run with me. He averages four

16
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.399
hours running a day. He hadn't
done a marathon on his own since July.

17
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.799
On Christmas Eve, fifty runners on
to Father Christmas outfits to run with

18
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.760
him, and now on Christmas Day
it's twenty other people around with him.

19
00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:07.359
He has continued to work a shift
as a team leader at a nuclear site,

20
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.359
which sometimes has meant running two marathons
in the space of sixteen hours.

21
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.560
He said, I always say the
lads and lasses that run with me,

22
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.680
there were good days and there were
great days. There's no difficult or bad

23
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.519
days. Wow, I am impressed. I have run on marathon and I

24
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:25.040
trained in twenty twenty two before pulling
out pretty late in the training due to

25
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.719
injury. And that one not long
run a week isn't enough. I can't

26
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.680
imagine doing it every day. I
would be so exhausted. Jess Mel,

27
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.760
she's thirty four, also had a
challenge to try something new every day.

28
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:41.159
Three hundred and sixty five adventures later, she says she's the happiest she's been

29
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.719
in a decade. Originally the goal
was one hundred tasks and one hundred days,

30
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:47.799
but she got rolling and didn't want
to stop, so she extended it

31
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.799
to three hundred and sixty five tasks. I'll read the list in a second,

32
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:53.200
she said. The first one hundred
I had to do one thing every

33
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.519
day. That was quite difficult,
so I decided to continue for the rest

34
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.120
of the year. I decided I'd
do three hundred and sixty five new things.

35
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:00.879
That way, I could do ten
things in one day if I was

36
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:05.400
free and still have done three sixty
five and three sixty five. That makes

37
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.039
sense to me, because doing one
thing every day was very difficult. Life

38
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.919
kept getting in the way. I
was gonna finish off by swimming in the

39
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.479
sea, but I hadn't gotten at
three sixty five yet, so that ended

40
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.560
up being three sixty three or something
like that. I did want to finish

41
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.800
off with something exciting, though,
so in the end I finished up by

42
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.360
convincing my dad to let me sit
on the roof of his car as he

43
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:23.400
drove down the road. That was
quite random. That was only three sixty

44
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:27.879
four. My final one was making
my first ever Instagram reel of some of

45
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.400
the things I've done in the year. You're ready for the list. This

46
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.560
is going to take a second.
Got Instagram, made a Christmas dinner,

47
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:38.639
watched et, made a lampshade,
did it backwards roll, let a radiator,

48
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:40.319
try to wear a gami, wentz
a hot yoga, dyed my hair

49
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:45.039
pink, did a one thousand piece
jigsaw by myself, tried a pot noodle

50
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:49.159
couple. He did a Rubik's cube, made muffins, visited an aircraft hangar

51
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.199
or got to start a plane,
used the Scary gym equipment, got a

52
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.240
handed tattoo, watched the Great Escape, Learned how to do various type of

53
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:59.919
knots. Learned a shuffled cards,
visited the sky Garden, completed a paint

54
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.280
by numbers, learned to pick a
lock, completed the Crystal maze, changed

55
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:07.159
a car wheel, drank a shot
out of a belly button, made fudge,

56
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:12.080
played golf, made pizza, drove
my nieces in my car. Yeah,

57
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.360
I don't know about that one.
Looked after my nieces by myself,

58
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.240
made a rainbow cake, tried embroidery, was part of a human pyramid,

59
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.840
bold without bumpers, visited a Mormon
sample, tried to start a fire without

60
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.879
matches and failed. Watched a brass
band called the Old Dirty Brasterards love It.

61
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.199
Attempted to learn to play the ukulelee. Watched Only Fools and Horses for

62
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.759
the first time. Yeah, some
of these we could upgrade. A couple

63
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.280
of these pretty good list, but
a couple of these we could upgrade.

64
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:40.879
Watched a foreign film without subtitles one
on my first solo trip outside the UK.

65
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.919
Learned how to fix my boiler.
One on a ghost walking tour.

66
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:50.680
Made jam made scones, went lambing, played skittles, explored somewhere near by

67
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:55.280
foot in my local area. Yeah, that's one of those. Maybe he

68
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:59.599
did like three hundred and fifty five
things and there's a bit of a stretch

69
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.360
here. Went to Virginia water,
joined an outdoor fit in his class.

70
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.479
Went on an organized walk. I
like this one not safe for work.

71
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:12.199
I wonder what she did. Visited
the Museum of London, made banana bread,

72
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.680
went on a Voka tasting tour,
Tried moonshine seventy two percent strength WHOA,

73
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:23.240
visited the salt mines. Got pooed
on by a bird. Now is

74
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.920
that something you try? Because the
premise here where she was going to try

75
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.879
new things? So do you like
go to the bird sanctuary and wait,

76
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.040
how does that work? I want
more details? Went to Blue Water,

77
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.000
dried bubble tea, tried zoomba,
went to the Bank of England Museum,

78
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:40.079
did a solo escape room. We
got a sprays hand. As part of

79
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:43.480
getting the sprays hand, got totally
naked in front of a stranger in their

80
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.399
kitchen and I just scrolled down and
there's another tea, one hundred of theies.

81
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:55.000
Oh boy, let me skim.
Tried mac and cheese, got sea

82
00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:00.480
monkeys, tried breast milk, made
a scarecrow, saw a change in royalty.

83
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.000
Is that something you planned to do
or were you just around the day

84
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:10.560
the queen died? Two more consecutive
and not safe for works. Sounds like

85
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.040
it was a fun weekend. Picked
my nieces up from school. Not as

86
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.399
interesting as that other weekend of barely
he caught a great my mouth streaked another

87
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:23.040
NSFW interviewed by the media, went
line dancing, went speed dating, and

88
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:27.600
I skipped two hundred of them.
As the snow started to fall. In

89
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.079
Buffalo last week, they had a
horrible storm. Craig Elston's barbershop, See

90
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.519
and See Cuts, had electricity,
heat and Wi Fi guy knocks on the

91
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.639
door looking for shelter. Elston was
already stranded there with some clients, and

92
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.600
he said, sure, come on
in. Eldon started to see how terrible

93
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.439
the storm was. He went on
TikTok and Facebook Live and invited anyone in

94
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.079
the community he needed shelter to come
and stay his barbershop. His TikTok video

95
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.079
got one million views. He said, in my first instinct is I have

96
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:54.360
a building with heat and lights.
A lot of people don't why not open

97
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.160
my building up to the public.
I did it just so people would have

98
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.160
somewhere to go. He estimates about
fifty people came in and out of a

99
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.439
shop from Friday to Monday. Last
week. He set around thirty stayed all

100
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.319
weekend. Some just came to warm
up, charge their phones and use Wi

101
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.000
Fi to contact family. He slept
in his barber's chair. Some other people

102
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.720
slept in the other barber's chairs on
the floor in the back of the shop,

103
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:16.399
and they used barber keeps as blankets. Jessica Manning had a heart transplant.

104
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.759
She still has the old heart.
She keeps it in a plastic bag

105
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.160
at her house. She was given
a new heart via donation at the age

106
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.519
of twenty five. She donated her
original heart to science. Ten months later.

107
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.360
She was told it was no longer
needed, so she decided to keep

108
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.120
it. She plans to bury it
in her garden. She says, when

109
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.120
I purchase a house, I want
to bury it and plant a tree on

110
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.759
top and dedicated to my donor as
a transplant recipient. It's almost impossible to

111
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.040
put it into words out thankful.
We are not just to our donor,

112
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.959
but to the donor's family. Everything
I do in life, I do for

113
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.319
my donor. Her old heart is
kept in preservative fluid in a plastic bag.

114
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.120
She stores it in her bedroom,
and she says, because it was

115
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.480
preserved, I didn't need to keep
it in the fridge or freezer. It

116
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.120
also didn't sit well with me that
my heart would be near my food.

117
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.319
I used to keep it in my
wardrobe, but now I store it in

118
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.319
a drawer on my desk. Here
a picture of the heart on TikTok.

119
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.959
Some of the comments why did I
think it was a cookie before I read

120
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:08.560
the caption? Another joke you can
wear it on your sleeve. Now that's

121
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.079
pretty good. And someone else suggested
you can send it to your ex with

122
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:16.240
a dramatic message. And a little
boy was concerned that his baby brother was

123
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:20.040
the only family member without hair.
You know, babies sometimes they don't have

124
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:25.480
a lot of hair. So his
brother used an orange worker and drew on

125
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:29.079
a pair of eyebrows and like a
comb over kind of thing on his little

126
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:31.439
brother. His mom rushed to grab
some soap and wipe off the drawings,

127
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:34.800
but she had to leave the little
baby with some orange comb over on his

128
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.439
head for three days to avoid hurting
his soft spot. She said, I

129
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:41.800
just started laughing. I was taken
off guard. He looked like a little

130
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.079
old man. The pin was an
orange color, so it made him look

131
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.560
like a little ginger. I turned
around and the brother was coloring his head.

132
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.920
I said, what did you do? The boy said, he has

133
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.879
no hair, so he colored had
some hair and eyebrows. The boy asked

134
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.519
if he was in trouble. He's
not as long as he doesn't do it

135
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.040
again. Mom says, when I
showed it to my husband, I walked

136
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:01.560
outside and brought the baby. He
started laughing thing and asked who did this.

137
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.240
That's five good news stories for today, A little along there in the

138

middle. Don't forgot I skipp two
hundred of them. Have a great day.
