This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences.

Ashley’s talk "Running saved my life and it might save yours too" is about how this extracurricular activity has saved her life on numerous occasions starting as just a young girl. Having an exorbitant amount of energy, Ashley found that she was having difficulty in the classroom. As a teen, she suffered from her own body appearance and anxiety. She discovered that running helped her through her mood swings and circumstances.
