Bobby O'Donnell

Author of the book, Running Wild, Bobby O'Donnell was born and raised in New England.

After the trauma of the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing he set out on a quest to run a marathon on all seven continents. These experiences in all corners of the globe helped him restore his love of running and work through PTSD, discovering first hand the important positive correlation that exercise and nature has on mental health.

Bobby advocates this through his book and speaking to large and small audiences about his journey. Between working as a critical care paramedic, O'Donnell continues to run, race, and hike all over the world including a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail in the summer of 2018.
