This episode of the live beyond podcast features Melissa Fehr, a world record holder, runner, entrepreneur and survivor of a bone marrow transplant.
We chat about Melissa’s success at the World Transplant Games in Argentina this year, bringing home six gold medals, a world record and a world best time!
Melissa talks about the devastation of being diagnosed with a bone marrow disorder in 2008, her treatment and how running and regaining fitness have played an important role in her recovery and identity.
She has since gone from strength to strength, completing five marathons, over 10 half marathons and countless shorter races. During this time, she has also started own business designing digital active wear sewing patterns while having a full-time job. A busy lady!
Melissa is constantly looking to achieve her best and push beyond her own limits, always improving. Her achievements are extraordinary and her courage, strength and determination a real inspiration.
I hope you enjoy listening to her story.
