Jessica and Kevan welcome an amazing athlete, a wonderful person, and a great friend; Brandon Stapanowich. Brandon is a physical therapist and an Ultra Athlete. He has competed in many major events like many of the toughest ultra marathons, Nolan’s 14, a self supported run down the Colorado Trail, and most recently the infamous Barkley Marathon. WE recommend checking out the documentary about the Barkley Marathon on Netflix. Brandon helped to start a chapter of Achilles Internanional in the Colorado Springs area, which pairs able bodied individuals with individuals with various disabilities to encourage and motivate all to participate in various physical activities.
