Quotes from the same author
When I forgave Jock Semple on Heartbreak Hill, I also got really cross with women.

I don't have any kids of my own, quite by choice. There are two reasons for that.

What I've done in this older part of my life is I started foundation called 261 Fearless, named after my old ,1967 Boston Marathon, bib number.I thought we could create training and a communicative, non-judgmental platform, in a movement to let them know they're not alone. Then fearless women can reach out to help women who are fearful and take that first step using the vehicle of running because it's transformational. It works for every woman every time.
