I wasn’t supposed to survive past my teens.
Now I run marathons across the globe and spark movements with a single question:
What keeps you going?
I’m Sally—a disruptor, a seeker, a survivor.
I speak to the part of you that’s still fighting. Still curious. Still in it.
My work lives at the intersection of adversity and ambition, where the human spirit dares to press forward.
The girl who wasn’t supposed to make it grew up to lead a movement. Sally was told she wouldn’t live past her teenage years. A rare medical condition was supposed to be the end of her story. But what if you don’t accept the script you’re handed?She didn’t.Now she’s run marathons on five continents. She’s a sought-after speaker, endurance coach, and host of The Unstoppable Podcast. She’s not just surviving — she’s rewriting what’s possible.
Mike is your unwavering supporter, your loudest cheerleader, and the driver who propels you toward your goals with relentless enthusiasm.

But I did.
And not just to survive—To live wide open.
It’s about refusing to be defined by them.
It’s a moment, not a map.
What you do next—that’s who you are.
To feel like the fight has taken everything.
But also—what it’s like to rise anyway.
I keep the conversation going—especially the ones people avoid.
I make space for the voices that have been overlooked.
And I share my story so others feel brave enough to tell theirs.
I raise money and awareness for research—not just for cures, but to shift how we see illness, identity, and possibility.
I was a kid with a diagnosis that was supposed to define me.
But I chose a different path.
Being unstoppable means knowing what you can control, letting go of what you can’t, and taking care of what’s left.

When I’m not speaking or coaching, I’m chasing finish lines—running for those who can’t, with their names written on my shoes. Every mile tells a story. Maybe yours is next.
