I changed the direction of this life that my kids can experience and have with me as their mother and see the things that I do and how they're going to look back and have these memories of me being there at their sports and not remember me being drunk or ever seeing me drunk.
Ever wondered how running could change a life? Meet Birdie, whose journey from addiction to half-marathon success is both moving and motivational. Growing up, Birdie was passionate about basketball, but addiction took control, leading to poor decisions and frequent blackouts.
