#86: Money for the Miles - our chat with the National Director of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society & Team in Training, Ryan Hatcher

Mar 30, 2018

We’re so excited to bring you Episode 86 of The BibRave Podcast. And, don’t forget to check us out on Spotify - bringing you on-demand podcast content whenever you want!

This week Jess and Andy interview Ryan Hatcher, the National Director of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and their fundraising organization, Team in Training. Ryan shares his history with the organization, some of his travels across the world, and what motivates and inspires him to bring runners together to raise money for such a great cause! He gives great insight on effective ways to fundraise and how he works tirelessly to create experiences of “wonderment and awe” for his athletes.

We also have a bonus section to round out the podcast this week. While in Austin for Running USA, Andy was able to interview race directors about their experiences with the craziest thing that happened on race day. This collage not only shares some of the behind-the-scenes troubleshooting that happens on race day, but also shines a light on the more humorous things that can happen at an event.
