In this episode, Sally talks with Tracy Cohen Roth, the 62 year old teacher and endurance athlete who is taking on the World Marathon Challenge: 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days. She’s completed marathons in all 50 states, 19 full Ironmans, 5 100-mile ultras, and now she’s lacing up for one of the toughest events on earth. Her why? To prove it’s never too late to go after something huge and to raise money for cancer research.
