In the final episode of Season 1, I had the opportunity to interview Sasha Wolff from Still I run.
Sasha Wolff is the founder of Still I Run – Runners for Mental Health Awareness. Still I Run, a community of warriors promoting the benefits of running for mental health, was founded in 2016 after Sasha discovered the benefits of running after a brief hospitalization for depression and anxiety. Still I Run began as a Facebook page and website, and has evolved into a non-profit with over 20,000 people in the community. Sasha is a partner to Greg and together they’re raising three young children in the mitten state fondly known as Michigan. In her “spare” time she runs for her mental health, enjoys Lake Michigan, and spending time with her family and friends.
