Today Lisa-Anne catches up with Erika Bogan, OCR and Cross-fit Athlete.  

Lisa and Erika finally got to get on course together after COVID shut down the world last year. Phoenix Race OCR has been able to host all their events in the era of COVID and because of this Lisa-Anne and Brother Boggs from BeastNet got to travel and run with More Heart Than Scars.  Before the race Erika got to meet young Gemma, she was diagnosed at 6 months old with Krabbe, a fatal disease. Follow her story here @Gemma's Krabbe Journey on FaceBook

During the episode Erika talks about the upcoming documentary about her and her quest to climb MT Kilimanjaro to raise awareness for mental health.
