On this episode of Tamarindo, we speak to Maria Solis Belizaire, the Founder and CEO of Latinos Run. Maria, an activist, speaker, and marathoner, has dedicated her life to uniting the Latino community through running and other forms of exercise. Maria's commitment to health and fitness stems from personal loss and a desire to make a positive impact on her community. Having lost her mother and friends to cancer and heart disease, she saw the importance of promoting a healthy lifestyle. Today, Maria travels extensively, meeting runners and advocating for the underserved. Through Latinos Run, she continues to inspire and empower the Latino community to lace up and get active, making a significant difference in the lives of many.
