261 Fearless Ambassador!!

261fearless badge

I am very excited to announce that I have been selected as a 261 Fearless Ambassador!

What’s 261 Fearless? It is an organization founded by the amazing Katherine Switzer, first woman to run the Boston Marathon in 1967. Katherine’s bib number for that historic run was 261.

261 Fearless is a global community of women of all levels, from walkers to the front of the pack, who have all found strength, power and fearlessness from putting one foot in front of the other. The mission “is to bring active women together through a global supportive community – allowing fearless women to pass strength gained from running and walking onto women who are facing challenges and hence sparking a revolution of empowerment. 261 is the symbol that unites us as empowered runners and walkers.”

I first came across the 261 Fearless purely by chance on Twitter and I instantly knew this was an organization that I wanted to be a part of. Running has showed me on so many levels that I am stronger than I think – I look forward to being part of this movement to encourage other women to discover what running can do for them.
