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.
In this conversation you’ll hear how having a stroke at the age of 29 only 5 days after giving birth to her second child lead Alice into discovering running.
And how a few words form a Dr put her on a journey to becoming an endurance athlete with the biggest smile and biggest heart of anyone you are likely to meet.
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.
Please enjoy my interview with Alice Johnson.
