Guest Speaker - Derek Young

Derek Young came in to talk to us on October 29th. Derek is a very successful entrepreneur who helped start Exit133.com and was one of the original runners of the Tacoma Runners. I think the whole Tacoma Runners group is very cool because it was people who got together through social media and they all didn't know each other, but got together to run all because of a single social media post. After being together for a little while more and more people joined the Tacoma Runners group until they needed to set up a board of members who will run the now non-profit organization. Their successful events raise money so that they can go places such as, The Great Wall of China in the future. They raise money in their events to help pay for the people who want to go to these different places to run so that the runners hardly have to pay anything out of pocket if anything at all! I would be very interested in running with them sometime here in the future!
