My presentation is about how to take care of yourself, your community and toasting to all your amazing accomplishments. Being good, and doing good has never felt so badass!

Justina is a Type I diabetic, marathon-running, craft beer-drinking, yoga teacher. She decided years ago after being diagnosed with Type I diabetes and nearly losing her brother in a car accident that she was going to find a way to do everything she wanted to do in life. Not just half-assed, but truly live life and celebrate it through her training as a yoga teacher, her experiences running and training runners for marathons and helping fellow diabetics take care of themselves. She began a free running club for Zipline Brewing Company called Brave New Brew Running Crew. It's all about teaching people to love where they are, who they are and to never take their health and happiness for granted. Every month the club gets together at Zipline Brewery to run and donate to a different local nonprofit charity, then drinks to their accomplishments.
