What an amazing Woman. Kathrine Switzer did what may never have the guts to do, She acted on her belief and changed the world.
We were privileged to get a taste of her story and those who went to the college to hear her speak that evening were moved.
Kathrine continues to run and change lives all around the world. For the first time in history every country was represented by a women in the Olympics.
e some time to read about her yourself. Who knows you might be inspired to make some changes in the world too.
