Welcome to my interview with Alice Johnson.
Alice is a registered nurse, triathlete, marathon runner, a mum of 2 awesome boys, and now an ultra runner who recently complete the 100km Buffalo Stampede in Bright, Victoria.

Now an ambassador for the Stroke Foundation, Alice is raising awareness of stroke and is especially focused on helping young stroke survivors to have a role model - to show them that anything is possible, and know they are not alone.
