January 15, 2025 Kayla Allene Betz-Swope: On the Run with a VIP (Visually Impaired Person)
Stepping into the shoes of a visually impaired marathoner adds a whole new depth to the concept of endurance. In our latest episode, we're honored to share the microphone with Kayla Allene Betz-Swope, or as she's fondly known on social media, @KaylaRunsDisney. Her story isn't just about the miles clocked or the medals hung; it's a testament to the indomitable human spirit. From the streets of the Chicago Marathon to the enchanting paths of Disney races, Kayla's journey intertwines the thrill of competition with a heartwarming narrative of overcoming the odds.
Amidst the personal triumphs and challenges that each athlete faces, our conversation traverses a variety of terrain. We revel in the nostalgia of a bowling alley upbringing, the determination it took to become a Disney runner, and the sheer resilience required to adjust to running with visual impairment.
Capping off this episode, we delve into the significance of inclusivity in sports, celebrating the achievements of all athletes, particularly those with disabilities. Through the lens of marathon running, we uncover the impact of thoughtful accommodations and the importance of community support. Finally, we lend our voices to the incredible work of charities like Kelsey's Hope, while also sharing a sneak peek at our guest's runDisney plans, complete with unique costumes and the contagious excitement for upcoming races. Whether you're an avid runner, a Disney enthusiast, or someone who cherishes personal stories of resiliency, this conversation promises to leave you feeling uplifted and perhaps, planning your next big challenge.
