In our recent conversation with Lisa Decker, a veteran ultra runner, we discover the power of human resilience and the spirit to fight back even when the odds are stacked high.  Lisa, with her fervor for life,  running, and a desire to help, offers a compelling and inspiring perspective on the Snowdrop 55-Hour Ultra in her 9th year of participation, a unique annual fundraising event for pediatric cancer research and scholarships.

Be prepared to be moved as we shuffle through the heartbreaking stories and meaningful experiences surrounding this 55-hour race. Drawing on her nine-year participation, Lisa vividly paints the picture of the camaraderie, strength, and sense of purpose that permeates this extraordinary event. She also takes us through her personal journey in ultra running, her inspirational involvement in charitable events like the Avon walk for breast cancer, and the Wings for Life race.

Finally, we shine a spotlight on the Snowdrop Foundation, the powerhouse behind the Snowdrop 55-Hour Ultra. Lisa shares her personal connection to the foundation, the impact they've had, and how they've raised over a million dollars for pediatric cancer research. Her motivational song for the playlist, cheekily renamed as "Shut Up and Run with Me,” by Walk the Moon encapsulates the spirit of the episode. So, gear up to jog the extra mile with us and discover the true meaning of choosing to endure
