Reece Parkinson leaves BBC Radio 1Xtra after six years
Reece, who joined 1Xtra in 2016, says his time on the station has changed him as a broadcaster, but it also changed his life in another big way.
Just days before he was due to run, he got a shock diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, forcing him to pull out."We've all been through kind of harsh and kind of sad realities in our life," he says. Reece describes people like Trevor - who recently featured in Stormzy's video for Mel Made Me Do It - as his "broadcasting heroes".
"And to meet so many incredible artists that we champion, and most importantly, the amazing audience that we reached.""Just manifest your destiny really," he says.
