In recent times, Caryn—who lives in Texas and also spends a lot of time in Colorado—became the first person (as far as we can find) to qualify for and run the Boston Marathon after a knee replacement surgery, thanks to a procedure done by Dr Richard Berger.

And, Caryn’s story is about that, but also so much more. Caryn has faced significant traumas in life, among them experiences with disordered eating, and she has been impacted by suicide.

In her story, she talks about this, and also how the challenges and struggles she’s faced have resulted in fueling her purpose in life. So, for instance, Caryn’s had a long career as a dietician specializing in helping people to overcome disordered eating. She’s been a leader in this field, beginning at a time when so little was known on the topic and treatment was rare to nonexistent. Caryn founded and ran an eating dis outpatient clinic for over 20 years; it grew to become the largest of its kind in Texas and one of the largest in the nation. Her career has spanned over 30 years. She’s also worked as an adjunct professor at the University of Houston for over 20 years.

In addition, Caryn founded Poppy’s Run for Life, which she talks about: the organization raises funds for suicide education and prevention through running events.

Currently, Caryn is also going after her latest big personal running challenge: running a marathon in every state!

There are many powerful moments in Caryn’s story, and it is truly inspirational.
