A
For
Kelowna
West
well,
thank
you,
Mr
Speaker.
Let
me
introduce
you
to
an
inspiring
woman
who
defies
age
and
improves
that
it's
never
too
late
to
start
running.
She
recently
returned
home
from
Tokyo
after
completing
all
six
races
of
the
Abbott
World
Marathon
majors,
and
also
setting
a
new
world
record.
A
As
the
oldest
woman
to
ever
complete
the
series
The
Abbott,
World,
major
or
Marathon
Majors
includes
Boston
New,
York
Chicago,
London
Berlin
and
Tokyo
meet
Liz
Borat,
the
w80
age
group
Crusher
from
Kelowna
BC,
who
at
age
of
63,
decided
to
take
up
running
and
has
since
then
run
approximately
25
marathons.
It's
astonishing
to
know
that
she
almost
always
wins
her
age
group
and
she
continues
to
challenge
herself
and
push
the
boundaries
of
what's
possible
for
its
love
for
running
started
when
she
participated
in
her
first
marathon
to
help
a
friend
fundraise.
A
She
didn't
train
for
it,
but
enjoyed
the
experience
which
motivated
her
to
start
training
and
eventually
join
a
running
group
in
2019
Borat
celebrated
her
80th
birthday
and
despite
her
age,
she
continues
to
set
the
bar
High
by
winning
her
age
category
in
both
Boston
and
London.
Marathons
that
same
year,
in
addition,
she
completed
Disney's
Dopey
challenge,
which
consisted
of
running
78.3
kilometers
over
four
days.
A
It's
incredible
to
see
that
even
at
the
age
of
84,
she's,
still
up
for
new
challenges
and
Adventures
Liz
board
is
an
excellent
example
of
how
determination,
discipline
and
passion
can
help
achieve
great
things.
So,
let's
take
a
leaf
out
of
her
book
and
commit
to
Leading
healthier,
more
active
lives,
no
matter
our
age.
Congratulations,
Liz
on
all
your
successes
and
thank
you
for
being
such
an
inspiration
to
us
all.
