Deeper than just a hobby
Running is more than just a hobby for Amy. In fact, it has helped her heal for over two decades.
She revealed to ABC News: “Running has been my therapy, my meditation, my escape for the past 25 years. I run because I want to explore new paths. I run because I want to feel alive, and sometimes I run because I need to sweat out fear, sadness, frustration or anger.”

A different form of therapy
Amy continued: “It doesn’t matter if I run one mile or 14, my mood is always brighter and my heart is lighter after pounding the pavement. It’s been a remedy for jet lag, a way to push through the nausea and fatigue of chemotherapy, and the best thing about it is I can do it wherever I am in the world. It simply requires a pair of running shoes and an adventurous spirit.”
