Double amputee climbs highest mountain on all 7 continents
Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: In Texas, Sean enlisted an entire preschool class to surprise his fiancée Zoey with a bridal shower; the couple had attended the school at age four and reconnected at a 2021 summer camp. New research from Newcastle University suggests a single 10-minute high-intensity cycling session can quickly change blood molecules, increasing 13 proteins including one tied to DNA repair, potentially helping suppress cancer growth in overweight but otherwise healthy adults aged 50–78. In England, Mark and Carol spent three decades and tens of thousands restoring a closed 1950 train station into “The Old Station,” now open for visits and overnight stays. In the Mediterranean, Cyprus is fighting invasive lionfish by serving it in restaurants. British veteran Hari became the first above-the-knee double amputee to climb the highest mountain on every continent.

0:03 Caalaroka Shark Media. Hi there, I'm jutting back with five good news stories. In Texas, a man enlisted an entire preschool class to help surprise his fiance with a bridal shower. There is Zoe. She walked into her preschool classroom. She was greeted by students wearing floral garlands and bow ties. That's weird, right. The children presented her with a tierra and a sash, and her fiance, Sean was waiting inside the room. Zoe told the local paper. When I walked in, I was really surprised. They had cookies and decorated the classroom. They gave me a sash and a veil and the crown. It was really cute. Now here's what's awesome. The two had attended the school when they were both. Four years later, their pass crossed again at a summer camp in twenty twenty one. Good news. If you don't want to work out for a long time, brief high intensity exercise sessions may do more than a proof fitness. They may also help the body fight certain cancers. Yeah. Apparently this works by try figuring molecular changes to promote DNA repair and suppressed cancer growth. According to new research, scientists at Newcastle University found that just ten minutes of intense exercise can rapidly alter the composition of molecules circulating in the blood.
1:14 The research involved thirty volunteers aged fifty to seventy eight, who were overweight, a known risk factor for cancer, but otherwise healthy. Participants completed a short, high intensity cycling test lasting about ten minutes. Blood samples taken after that showed increases in thirteen proteins, including one molecule involved in DNA repair. The guy working on this is doctor Orange. Great name. Doctor Orange said even a single workout can make a difference one bount of exercise lasting just ten minutes since powerful signals to the body. In England, a couple with a lifelong passion for railways has spent the past three decades restoring an English train station. Mark and Carroll purchased the train station in nineteen ninety six, nearly fifty years after it closed to passengers in nineteen fifty. Then they've invested tens of thousands of dollars and thousands of hours to restore the historic site. The station is now known as the Old Station. It's open to visitors tourists can stay overnight in one of three restored former first class railway carriages, or in a converted ticket office that now serves as a holiday cottage. The former station master's house has been renovated into the new home of Mark and Carroll.
2:23 Carrol said, it's been a lot of hard work. We're very proud of what we've achieved. Fun fact, in twenty twenty one, Mark and Carroll dismantled the men's restroom and salvage original bricks that were reused in the renovation of the ticket office that the space was converted into a two bedroom vacation cottage with bathrooms. All right, here's a little eco battle for you. In parts of the Mediterranean, invasive lionfish have caused serious damage to native marine ecosystems. So now there's an alliance between fishermen, policymakers and chefs. Here's what they're doing with the lionfish. They've turned it into a menu item. Yeah, on the island of Cyprus. If the lionfish can't be eliminated, we're going to eat you.
3:04 In their native waters. In the Indo Pacific, linfish are preyed upon by species such as more eels, large groupers and barracuda. But those guys don't exist in the Mediterranean. So the lionfish we're having a day. Stefanos owns a fish chavern, untild euronews. First of all, the lionfish has to be cleaned. It's very dangerous. You have to cut the spines off. If you get pricked, you won't die, but you'll be in terrible pain. Boy, that sounds delicious, But at the restaurant, lionfish is prepared with ingredients such as olive oil, O regano, lemon and moderate heat. Costas Cadiz is the EU's Commissioner for Fisheries, He says, by incorporating invasive species such as lionfish in or diet, we can turn this challenge into an opportunity. And congratulations to Harry, the British war veteran has become the first above the knee double amputee to climb the highest mountain on every continent, all seven, including Mount Vincent and Antarctica. Harry lost both legs above the knee in an ied explosion while serving in the British Army in Afghanistan. After a few years of recovery, he turned to extreme adventure as a way to rebuild his life. He started in twenty eighteen. He climbed Mount Everest, Denali, Aconcagua, Kilimanjaro, Mount Blanc, and Pung sak Jaya. Fewer than five hundred people worldwide are believed to complete these seven summits. To do all this, Hari worked with prosthetic specialists to design custom climbing legs, and he collaborated with experts to develop specialized cold weather gear suited to antarctic conditions. His mission is to show that
4:34 disability should not limit an ambition and then, when adaptation, support and determination, even the most extreme goals aren't possible. Congratulations sir, and those are your five good news stories for today.
