52 | Mettle, Mothering, Melanoma, Mimosas, Marathons, Memories, and Mental Health (Ann Hupp)

Ann Hupp, co-founder of Mettle Events, joins Rooster and Joe to discuss topics ranging from timing the first ever event Ainsley ran in, being a mother later in life, and skin cancer. An advocate for inclusion of al, Ann takes us on a life journey, from her childhood as a lifeguard and being one of the first ever RFID road race timers in the world to her evolution of becoming a mother and her experience with melanoma. We even got to dive into a little banter about the Vols as they just won the SEC championship against Rooster's LSU Tigers and punched a ticket into the NCAA Baseball Tournament. Ann and her family have embraced inclusion their entire lives and continue to make a difference on and off the racecourse, impacting communities everywhere. Oh, let’s not forget that Ann was the second of only seven to receive the Ainsley’s Angels Presidential coin for Excellence in Inclusion!
