Gaze upon it: there are vanishingly few who will ever earn the right to wear it. How you managed to cram 2000 miles into a life containing all the other stuff you do will remain a wonder to outsiders, but you know what mighty achievements grow from regular investments of time, energy, determination and grit. No fluke this: you built this towering figure and it’s built you up too. The future’s looking bright, the horizons infinitely broad. Arise, noble hero: never has a medal been as richly deserved. Bear a Latin motto meaning ‘I walk therefore I am’.
