Women are Amazing!
28th Aug 2017
It's 6:00am on a Sunday morning and I'm super cold. It is almost 10 degrees, and I'm definitely not properly dressed for this kind of weather. I'm wearing a t-shirt, workout leggings and my running shoes. What was I thinking?!
Yesterday we spent a whole morning around 30,000 fit and excited people at the Bridge to Brisbane running/walking event. If you've never been, and you're local to the area, make sure you mark your calendars for next year as it is an amazing event. The vibe is super positive and happy, even though everybody is freezing their butts off at the starting line.
Women are amazing - seriously!
We spent the morning talking to women who took part in the event, and boy oh boy was it a humbling experience! Seriously, women were running the 10k while pushing prams because they couldn't find a baby sitter that early in the morning (and I was complaining about being cold...shame on me!).
And of course there are the hundreds of women who were walking and running for charity, using this event as a major fundraising activity.
Over the next couple of weeks we'll share their amazing stories with you. We have footage of most stories, but some of them are audio only because the women were too shy to be on camera, which is such a shame! We need to share these stories. As women we should be proud of what we do, and what we can achieve!
Every person has a story that resonates with #notheldback and that is what makes us stronger.
