Memories of my First ever International Marathon – August 2010 with Team Diabetes (Reykjavík, ICELAND)
Capturing the stunning views of Iceland’s capital city. No where in the world have I ever seen landscapes and awe inspiring views like I have in Iceland. The 4 day Team Diabetes experience was enough to get me hooked and the start of a new chapter with my Team D family!
RIOS Runs RIO Marathon – July 2012 with Team Diabetes (Rio de Janeiro, BRAZIL)

Together as a team we raised approximately $445,000 towards Diabetes Research and Development. This is a snapshot of the great friends and good times we had over the 4 days. Thank you!!!
PECHA KUTCHA – September 2012 lululemon Ambassador Summit (Vancouver, CANADA)
I had the honor of speaking at the ambassador summit in Vancouver. The goal was in 5 minutes to talk about “What I wish I knew before I started ________” The format called “Pecha Kucha” which in Japanese is chit chat is a series of photos where you explain a story. I decided to chat about what I wish I knew before I started my 20’s. It was such a great opportunity to share the story with a roomful of inspiring fitness/yoga/runner leaders from around the globe. My talk clearly outlines simple life lessons that I have learned and integrates what truly is important in my life.
The Reykjavik video was what made me want to join Team D in 2011. They were using it as a promotional video and it got me hooked 🙂 Who knew that I would get to be friends with the creator, you! Thanks once again Joe for sharing your amazing journey with the world!
