Summary
Thirty-two-year-old Collin Chartier is running 2,000 miles across the country from Boulder to Washington D.C., averaging 31 miles a day, to raise awareness for mental health and recovery. Once a top triathlete, his career ended in 2023 after a PED suspension, but now he’s channeling that pain into purpose—honoring loved ones lost to suicide and inspiring others to keep moving forward. Along the way, he’s connecting with communities, sharing his story, and finding resonance in stories like that of a Kansas schoolteacher whose family has also been touched by suicide. He’s hoping to reach D.C. by early September, turning personal struggle into a powerful national movement. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
