Check out this great video that features Cristina Ramirez, a Latina mother in Florida who worked hard to get healthier—and helped her quadriplegic friend make it to the finish line of the South Beach Triathlon.
Ramirez, who is featured in the Voxxi News video, is among the 20 winners of Positive Impact Awards from Hispanicize.
According to Hispanicize: “Cristina has served as an inspiration for women to get off the couch and take on a healthy lifestyle. In addition to recently co-founding Bike Key Biscayne in order to make cycling safer in the community, she has raised over $5,000 for the National Parkinson Foundation through her IronMan Florida race, and over $3,000 for a seven-year-old waiting for a heart transplant through the Miami Marathon.”
“We shouldn’t be defined by our limitations,” Ramirez said in the video. “We can do anything we want to do.”
