Momentum Media backs running for resilience… and a cause

When ex-military man Rodney “Rocket” Cottam was in a serious motor vehicle accident almost two decades ago that left him permanently paralysed in his left arm, he turned to running to build his strength and resilience. Now, he has partnered with Momentum Media to undertake a punishing running challenge to raise funds for a cause close to his heart.

Mr Cottam’s philosophy is simple. While our first instinct is to identify a problem and be clouded by negativity, he rejoices in finding solutions and focusing on what is within his circle of control.

“In my instance I couldn’t control what happened, or the end result of my accident. So, there’s absolutely no reason for me to focus on it,” he asserted to Momentum Media.

“All I can focus on is moving forward and figuring out how I adapt to it, get through it, and change the way I normally would do things.”
