He's 57 and running across Africa w/ Keith Boyd

Keith is a 57 year old man with a genetic heart condition but he's on track to set a Guinness World Record running 11,000 km across the length of Africa. And he's got a great message. He wants to inspire young people to vote and improve the lives of people in Africa through better leadership and governance.
He's already run all the way from South Africa to Ethiopia but he's been stalled for weeks due to security issues. He has the toughest part of the journey ahead of him---war-torn Sudan and the Sahara desert. I have so many questions for Keith. Why did he decide to do this? What's the journey been like and how does a person prepare for an undertaking like this? And will he be able to continue on to Cairo and break the record?
