Veronique Gobry
Veronique started to run 14 years ago with a friend to raise funds for the Dublin Children Hospital. Since then, she has ran on 3 continents, trained with a team both in France and Australia, participated in numerous 5K, 10K, half-marathons, marathons, and an ultra in the Alps of Switzerland in 2017 just to prove to herself that she was able to do it. She loves to run with her daughter, and coached Girls On The Run in 2014. She is dedicated to teaching kids and sharing her passion with them.
I'd like to show the kids that running is very empowering, they can set their own goal and we'll be there to help them achieve it. I'd like them to experience by themselves that the finish line is just the beginning.
