I'm very happy I was able to do it. I'm probably never going to do a full marathon. A lot of people don't know of the SACID and a First Nation relocation.
Imagine facing a mountain of challenges, from addiction to surviving trauma, and coming out stronger on the other side. That's exactly what Samantha Powderhorn has done. Hailing from the remote Indigenous community of Tadoule Lake, Samantha's story is one of resilience, self-love, and transformation.

How did she do it? By finding strength within herself and embracing the world of marathon running. In this episode of LAF Life, Samantha shares her incredible path from addiction to becoming an avid marathon runner.
Her story is a testament to the power of sobriety, self-love, and the human spirit. Tune in to hear how she turned her life around, proving that inner strength can conquer even the toughest battles.
