Our Mission

To inspire and support young female athletes’ competitive efforts as they reach beyond barriers.

When Betty retired from the Olympics she began a new race; one that proved to be uphill, and even harder still, had no finish line. She used her platform and voice to be at the table and in the room as policies were created around womens’ access to sport. She traveled and spoke with young people about the joy of running, and shared her story to encouraging resilience and promote action. She coached, timed, and helped create policies within USA Track and Field and the Unites States Olympic Committee.

She broke the barriers for future female athletes and continued to open doors with her gratitude and gusto.

“She helped dispel the falsehood of physical

and emotional fragility of all women.”
