To say that Sam Gash is inspiring is the understatement of the year. But before I tell you more about her, what I want to make sure I mention right off the bat is that this weekend \u2014 June 11 through June 13, 2021 \u2014 Sam is helping to put together an awesome event called Relief Run to benefit World Vision Australia\u2019s India COVID-19 appeal, which will see funding provide more beds, oxygen machines and medical supplies in hospitals in some of the worst hit districts. While things are feeling more normal here, the state of affairs over in India is frightening. Since the beginning of the pandemic, at least 1 in 49 residents have been infected, with a total of more than 27 million cases. If Relief Run sounds familiar, that\u2019s because last year\u2019s installment raised more than $1 million in support of Australian bushfire relief efforts. To participate, register at ReliefRun.com.au/ and then walk or run a  all over the world to run or walk 5K, 10K, or half-marathon at a location and time that suits you. 

I\u2019m doing it, and I hope you will too. 

Now, a little more on Sam. Sam is a social entrepreneur and former Survivor contestant, as we mention in todays episode we actually met on an unbelievable trip to ibiza which feels like both forever ago and just yesterday. To say that sam has done a helluva lot of good in this worlds would be the biggest understatement. She has turned her passion for running into a vehicle for social change, completing events like Run India in 2016 \u2014a 3,200K run from the west to the east of India in an effort to raise funds for World Vision education initiatives \u2014 to a 222K non-stop foot race across the Himalayas at 6,000 meters above sea level \u2014 an event that had only been completed previously by one man. She\u2019s truly a one-of-a-kind individual. And, of note, Sam was actually a corporate lawyer with zero athletic background until she decided to make her endurance activity part of her life's work. I am blown away by her, and I know you will be, too.
