Megan Hammis is a registered dietitian and a runner who recently finished her 100th race. She's also an advocate for recovering addicts. After all, she's been sober since Oct. 10, 2020. And her mother would have celebrated 24 years of sobriety this month - if she hadn't died unexpectedly in April 2021.
Megan's running resume includes six marathons, nine half-marathons and 85 races of other various distances. She's also an Ambassador of Still I Run, a group of runners stomping out the stigma surrounding mental illness.
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode includes discussions on substance abuse, mental illness, eating disorders and suicidal ideations.
