Gail’s mantra is “whatever it takes,” and she uses this to complete challenges in all areas of her life. One such challenge came from the restrictions brought about by the pandemic, which forced her to change course and find new ways to continue to stay motivated and live her passions. By sharing her story, she hopes to show a different way to perceive the adversities brought to us all during the uncertain times and to encourage others to seek situations to feel thankful for. Facing new challenges and finding methods to overcome them brings a sense of power and achievement, especially during uncertain times.
Gail’s greatest passion is to travel, and she is at her best when she is able to combine runs with travelling to new destinations each year. She resides in Summerland in the beautiful Okanagan Valley and loves spending time with her two amazing children, Taylor and Emily, while awaiting the next big challenge and adventure.
