Melissa Kahn- Run Heifer Run!
When Melissa Kahn first began running, she had a lot to carry. She had the physical weight of obesity and the emotional weight of a dysfunctional childhood. Her friend, in light-hearted jest, told Melissa, “RUN, HEIFER, RUN!”
With those words, an idea was sparked. Melissa, a lifelong foodaholic, decided that no matter what, she would keep on running, even if she carried with her all of those extra pounds and baggage. She started Run, Heifer, Run as a way to connect with others struggling to establish healthier habits with similar struggles: food addiction, extra weight, sedentary lifestyles and the belief that a person with an extra hundred pounds couldn’t possibly hit the pavement and run a block let alone a half-marathon and beyond!
