Sandra Mikulic "A Path to Self-Acceptance Through Running"

Sandra's journey to healing through running began at the age of 43, driven by a desire to break free from the childhood limitations imposed by her body size. Viewing her running journey as a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery, Sandra found solace in the rhythm of her strides, even during challenges like her daughter's graduation during Covid and ongoing home renovations.
