The working title of this episode was “Ping Pong Phun”. Instead we named it the same title as the guest’s documentary which is a much better title and reflects our guest, Margie Alley’s, motto.
This episode is second in our summer of inspiration series. We hope you listened to the last episode featuring an inspirational woman who climbed Mt Kilimanjaro after her diagnosis and has a great way of looking at life. On this episode, we speak with a woman on the opposite coast of the U.S. and took on the challenge of learning Ping Pong which led to a gold medal in an international tournament. She will be defending her title in Berlin this year. Talk about a challenge and an anxious provoking experience. Wow. Plus, there is a chance encounter and meaningful conversation with Michael J Fox which will turn out to be beneficial at a later date. Again, listen on and prepared to be inspired as our guest opens up about her life, what challenges she faces and how she found and uses Ping Pong to help.
