A World Record on Route 66: The Incredible story of Aaron Moon

Travel to Historic Locations with History or Drive.

In our latest Talk With History episode, I had the privilege of interviewing Aaron Moon, a former British Royal Marine Commando who survived a catastrophic IED explosion in Afghanistan and is now set to cycle the entirety of Route 66 in 22 days, all on one leg.

Aaron's journey is driven by a powerful purpose: to raise awareness for veteran mental health through the Wounded Warrior Project, while showcasing his "Reborn Mindset" philosophy.

Follow his incredible journey on Instagram (@oneleg87) and join in supporting his mission, knowing that real change starts with the courage to pursue the impossible.

📍 Follow Aaron and support Wounded Warriors
