In this episode we take a trip down
under to the Land of Oz and have a talk-about with the spirited
Katie Visco. Katie is on a mission of self-discovery and self-love,
which is interwoven into her passion for running and community.
She joins the program to share her recent adventure in Australia,
participating in the 1000 Miles to Light, a 1,000-mile relay race
to raise awareness and funds for youth mental health services.
You’ll also hear about Katie’s cycle-supported run across Australia
- a 2,210-mile endeavor over a four-month period. Kate is also the
second-youngest female ever to run across the United
States.
