Sandra began her fitness journey at 11 years old when her grade 5 teacher introduced the class to jogging. She engaged in a number of different activities through her teen years and eventually joined a gym and participated in various types of group fitness classes. Through fitness Sandra discovered her inner stamina, determination and belief in herself. She learned how to move the "line" on perceived limits, and what was once impossible was now possible. This was quite an inspiring and empowering journey.
