Upper School Students Hear Inspiring Story of Ricky Singh

Ricky Singh, the first person to summit Mount Everest and complete 50 marathons in 50 states, recently visited the Asian Student Union Club to share how he got into running and the mindset that fueled his journey.
Inspired to get in better shape after the birth of his first son at 37, Singh set a goal to complete 50 marathons in 50 States, and summit Mount Everest, all before he turned 50 years old. His training, which included ultramarathons and training trips in Nepal, allowed him to meet new and diverse people. Singh noted that these experiences enhanced his physical endurance, gave him fresh ideas for his businesses back in Delaware, and gave him a greater sense of empathy.
