A Storm Chaser and a 2,000 – Day Runner
A Storm Chaser and a 2,000 – Day Runner
From a meteorologist travelling the world as a storm chaser to a Queensland couple dedicated to saving sea turtles, My Way introduces inspirational Australians who aren’t afraid to say they’re doing things their way, this Saturday at 12pm on Nine.
Narrator Tim Blackwell unveils the Queensland couple behind a 40-year pursuit of turtle conservation and protection, Bev and Nev McLachlan. Nev’s turtle obsession ignited as a university student when spending the summer learning how to relocate nests and handling eggs. Fast forward to now, when Bev and Nev spend every Christmas at the beach to embrace the hatching season from November to January.
After ballooning from 74kg to 130kg since graduating high school, Adam Leishman decided to make a weighty change by getting up and going for a run one morning. And he hasn’t missed a beat in nearly six years, waking up and running every morning since – for more than 2,000 days. Despite losing 60kg, he doesn’t plan on stopping.
Next we catch up with Tracey Walker, the woman who yearned to celebrate women and their love for vintage cars (old girls) and did just that, by creating Old Girls on the Road. It’s an all-female community who go on day trips, catch up, and chat all things classic cars.
Finally, there are not many people like Justin Noonan, a man who seeks out the adrenaline rush of a violent storm. After being terrified by a cyclone bearing his name as a child, he became obsessed with extreme weather events and decided to make a career out of it. Justin is a storm chaser who travels the world to pursue wild weather – the worse the better – and says it’s not an obsession, it’s his lifeblood.
