Just back from winning the Empire State Building run, Melissa Moon will give a talk on her racing adventures in NZ and round the world and is sure to motivate even the most sedentary members of the audience!
Mountain running has provided Melissa with a wealth of knowledge and understanding about the power of the mind and the ability to endure. It has also given her the opportunity to experience diverse countries and cultures. Most importantly Melissa says, it has provided her with structure, direction, focus, the excitement of setting goals and the challenge of working hard to achieve them.
When she's not racing, Melissa is a community worker at the Compassion Centre's Soup Kitchen. After 8 years as a volunteer Melissa now works alongside guests assisting them in all aspects of their lives. Respect, non judgement and compassion being at the heart of her role.
