The British newspaper "Metro" published a photo report about a man who chose to honor his late wife by walking barefoot for life. The report highlighted an incident where James Graham was expelled from a restaurant after being refused service due to his inappropriate appearance. According to the newspaper, in 2013, James lost his wife and chose to continue his life in his own way, explaining: "Life is too short to do things you think you might want to do." Since that event which ended with the loss of his wife, James has focused on participating in marathons, taking part in 20 marathons barefoot, and completing the "Eastbourne Half Marathon."
