Along our journey through life, we meet different people who all have something in common—a desire to excel and run after goals, and I mean literally run. To be determined, not deterred.
This month, I want to introduce you to Rochelle Sceats-Basil, as she shares her thoughts and desires. Her chosen sport is running, but remember that sports are still sports even when running isn’t involved. Last month’s column about golf is a great example of this!
