Is there a cause that you're particularly passionate about and how do you support it?
Making the sport of track and field more inclusive for the community and demonstrating how health and well-being can translate into speed.

How does running benefit you?
It boosts my mental health. My anxiety is lower, my focus is more acute. I am more creative. I am better at other activities, like martial arts, because of running.

What are you most proud of in your running career?
That I'm still in the game. I need a little luck, some blessings, and good fortune to love the run as much as I still do.
