As Linda has grown and evolved throughout the course of her life journey, her mental resolve and empathy towards others has only strengthened. Linda pushes herself to compete as an ultra-marathon runner to inspire others and draw attention to the plight of children all over the world. By dedicating herself to a rigorous training regimen and brutal races, Linda shows us all that any challenge can be overcome, no matter how daunting it may seem.  

Linda firmly believes that children are the key to the future, and that we as a society need to do everything we can to help disadvantaged children. As Linda has established herself in the philanthropic world, she has found many worthwhile causes that she supports through her nonprofit Hope So Bright. By running challenging races all over the world, Linda also uses her skill as a runner to raise awareness for her causes and for Hope So Bright.  

Linda began her physical training as a bodybuilder, and soon became a triathlete. She has since moved on to the ultimate physical challenge, the ultra-marathon. Linda pushes her physical and mental endurance to the limit, overcoming the long distance of the race and the harsh environments many of them are run in.  

Linda draws energy and motivation to get through her running challenges by thinking about the children who have endured violence, hunger, and heartache.
