Episode 35: Liz Warner, Runs to Reach Women, 30 Global Marathons

In Episode 35, we follow Liz Warner's Run to Reach project as she tries to reach women's organizations and women runners in the toughest corners of the globe, by 1) fundraising to support them through grassroots impact organizations in those countries, and 2) running one of the most challenging marathons on the globe on their home turf.  Did we mention she was doing 30 of these, before she turns 30? (list below)...

Watch the video and her fundraising goal, of reaching women's organizations in 30 countries, and asking each of us in the running community that cares to give just $26 towards it! (2600 of us)

In fact, Liz is down to her last 3, having run 1-2 marathons per month over 2019 and the start of 2020, including the Atlanta Marathon for her US choice, on her home turf!  An Atlanta native, Liz knew she wanted to make an impact and change her life trajectory, and set out to create her own reality by doing something that resonated with her soul to help others in the best way she could... by feeling their lived experience and challenging herself as much as she could in a visceral way through each marathon, and in a concrete way by giving of her own finances and asking others to do so through her work.
