Marcos shares with Wim Hof how cold water exposure has helped him massively with is cancer journey

If ever you need inspiration, then Marcos Jarvis and his family are so lovely and has been a real honour for us at WOLO Foundation.

Two years ago, Marcos Jarvis had just completed a marathon when he was told he had stage 4 liver cancer and that nothing could be done to stop its spread.

Marcos used his passion for running to take on the disease.

The 47-year-old said: “I had 12 tumours on my liver and had 35 rounds of chemotherapy.

“I made some major changes to my life. I used my running to alleviate the fatigue and nausea and gradually my sickness levels decreased as my fitness improved.

“There were days when I didn’t want to run but I pushed myself through.”

Marcos became a vegan, took regular cold showers and (Wim Hof) ice baths, and practised Tai Chi.

He added: “My three-monthly CT scans indicated that my tumours were shrinking.

“The last scan showed they had gone. Now I want to focus on helping and supporting other people with cancer.

"I want to show them that they too can change their lives.”

During his treatment Marcos and his family were supported by Wolo, the Sussex-based charity that supports families on their cancer journeys – from diagnosis, through treatment and after.
