    Mauro Prosperi and Juliane Koepcke

    Better than late than never! This week, we tell the harrowing tales of Mauro Prosperi and Juliane Koepcke. In 1994, Mauro Prosperi set forth to run the 'Marathon des Sables', a six day 155 mile race through the Sahara Desert. On Christmas Eve 1971, Juliane Koepcke was just 17 years old she departed Lima, Peru on a plane with her mother to meet her father in a small town. Both would have to fight for survival in gruesome ways and beat the odds to see better days. Check out their stories anywhere you find podcasts on SISPICION! Organization Spotlight: 261 Fearless at 261fearless.org. For years, the number 261 has stood for women’s ability to break barriers in running—it’s the bib number Kathrine Switzer wore when she became the first registered woman to run the Boston Marathon, in 1967. More than five decades later, Switzer serves as founder and board chair for this organization that connects female runners around the globe. Programs include non-competitive running events; a coaching certification that focuses on teaching healthy, sustainable running habits to women; and local clubs that meet for runs, of which there are now 23 and counting, in locations from Albania to Kansas City to Zambia.
