Description
In this powerful episode of Walk and Roll Live, Doug Vincent and Addie Rich sit down with lifelong educator Rita Duran and her devoted daughter to share a story of perseverance, purpose, and love.
After 38 years of teaching and a life filled with running marathons, supporting students, and giving back to her community, Rita’s world changed following a life-altering accident that forced her into medical retirement. But her story didn’t end there — it evolved.
Today, Rita continues her journey of recovery through physical therapy at Casa Colina, finds strength through PossAbilities, and shares her love of literacy by visiting schools to read to students. With honesty and warmth, she opens up about overcoming self-isolation, rediscovering joy, and the powerful bond she shares with her daughter — her greatest advocate and inspiration.
Join us for a moving conversation about resilience, rediscovery, and the enduring power of purpose. Walk and Roll Live
