RUN FOR GOOD
Lisa Smith-Batchen
We began working with Lisa in January of 2019 as she was recovering from an injury and knee surgery.
After just 6 weeks taking OsteoDenx® daily, Lisa began to notice improvements in her joints.
Lisa has raised many millions for charity, in particular for AIDS orphans, a cause she shares with her long-time friend, Sister Mary Beth, who has run alongside Lisa on many of her adventures.
Athletic Achievements
She is the first American female to have won the Marathon des Sables “Marathon of the Sands”, a six day 251 km (156 miles) ultramarathon through the Sahara Desert. It is considered one of the toughest foot races on Earth.
She has competed in over 40 ultramarathons, 90 marathons, and is a 5 time Hawaiian Ironman finisher. Her accomplishments as an endurance runner and ironman athlete have made her one of the most respected athletes in the world.
