Plant Powered Book Club: A Race For Life

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’ll discuss Ruth Heidrich’s inspiring story of strength and healing brought to life in her book A Race for Life: A Diet and Exercise Program for Superfitness and Reversing the Aging Process. In her mid-forties, Ruth was diagnosed with breast cancer. After undergoing a double mastectomy, she challenged herself to the punishing Ironman Triathlon. Twenty years later, Heidrich is still running, cancer-free, and positive about life. In the book, she describes her fight with cancer, the healing powers of proper nutrition, and the rewards of running the toughest races in the world. Our book club discussion is facilitated by Lynn Diamond, PPMNY's Associate Network Director & Director of Community Education. This month, she’ll will be joined by Robert Klein, Ironman triathlete and PPMNY Lifestyle Mentor.  Please note that this is a book group discussion and will not include a report on the contents of the book. Those who have not read any of the book will find less value in the discussion than those who read at least some if not all of it. Event access is by donation or free to anyone unable to contribute. Please choose the option that fits you best and join us! Registrants will receive a Zoom link on the day of the event.
