Our fearless co-founder, Gilbert Tuhabonye, is featured on the Running Book Reviews podcast talking about writing This Voice in My Heart: A Runner's Memoir of Genocide, Faith, and Forgiveness, and how running saved his life.
Gilbert shares his story of growing up in Burundi, on a peaceful mountainside surrounded by family, discovering the sport of running as a child, and later surviving ethnic genocide at his school.
On Monday, October 21, 2019, Gilbert Tuhabonye and a large group of people filled 30-50lbs water jugs and walked from Austin’s Lady Bird Lake to the Texas State Capitol in a profound remembrance of tragic events that occurred twenty-six years ago, and to celebrate the strength in resilience, forgiveness, and gratitude.
