Paige.

Seven continents. Seven marathons. An entry in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Ever dream of doing that in your early twenties? Paige force demands reckoning . She a Hopkins’ graduate, economist and a petite ball of fire. Her strength and personality shine through her warm smile, throaty laugh and super sized dreams.

I couldn’t resist Paige . . . and in our quest to get her corporate sponsors, we consulted  a mutual force in our lives . . . a business man who knows how to make things happen.

Our goal? To get Paige on that ship to Antartica to complete the last of her marathons to earn her the title of “youngest woman to run a marathon on each continent.”

When a young woman chases her dreams with that much joie de vivre, the question begs to be asked. It’s my favorite question, and I asked it. If you know my journey, you know the question.

Her answer:

I’d start a foundation in Baltimore City, to bring top notch teachers and  coaches into the public schools, underwritten by private industry, to level the playing field among economically advantaged and disadvantaged kids.

Early twenties. No kidding.

Paige Cantlin. Remember that name.
