Strapping on our running shoes, we couldn't help but feel the buzz of excitement for our latest Rise and Run podcast adventure, where the runDisney Springtime Surprise event takes center stage. It's about the thrill of the challenge, the enchantment of running through magical realms, and the shared struggles and triumphs that bind us as a community. Our podcast stitches together these narratives, wrapping you in the camaraderie that only events like the Stitches' 'Ohana Challenge can inspire.

Imagine swapping the wrestling ring for Hollywood sets and stunt doubles—Taryn Terrell, our guest for this Rise and Run Rewind, knows exactly how that feels. Her journey from pinning opponents to performing daring stunts for the stars, including doubling for Catherine Zeta-Jones, is nothing short of electrifying. Taryn brings to life the connections between the discipline of stunt work and the endurance of running. Her stories, like filming stunts at a Lakers-Pelicans game or her evolution from a self-proclaimed non-runner to a marathon finisher, underscore the theme of transformation that runs deep in this episode.

Finally, we lace up for a series of race reports that showcase the raw, unfiltered experiences of our listeners. From Camille's comeback to Bridget's heartfelt 5K, these aren't just race stories; they're milestones of personal growth. We also peek into the preparation it takes to stand at the starting line, the battle against injuries, and the undying passion that fuels our strides. It's a journey we're all on together, with each step, each race, and each story, encouraging you to find that spring in your step and push beyond what you thought possible. Join us, as we celebrate the power of running to transform lives and foster connections that reach far beyond the finish line.

In the heart of this episode, we're joined by Ken Facey from Give Kids the World, who shares with us the profoundly touching work of the charity, bringing dreams to life for critically ill children and their families through dream vacations. Ken's stories are a powerful reminder of the difference we can make, running not just for personal glory, but for a cause that echoes far beyond the pounding of sneakers on pavement.

Wrapping it all up, we jaunt through a medley of race recaps and personal stories that exemplify the essence of our running community.
