Logan Muller - 2020 Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast Scholarship Award Winner - Episode 176

Episode 176 - Logan Muller - 2020 Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast Scholarship Award Winner

“I was only 14-years-old, and I was not like other kids...I was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis...I had to rely on medicine…I was not going to give up.”

“...exercise and eating better makes me feel good.” - Logan Muller (18-years-old & Rheumatoid arthritis WARRIOR!)

This episode of the Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone Podcast is very special. Today, you will hear from Logan Muller, who is joined by her mother Linda Muller, for an in-studio interview that will pull at your heartstrings. Logan, the recipient of the 2020 Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone Scholarship, presented through the Brick Township Chamber of Commerce, shares her powerful story of perseverance and determination to overcome and triumph over her juvenile rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis as a young teenager. Logan, a super sweet, intelligent, “old-soul,” as her mother lovingly refers to her, endured years of physical and emotional obstacles and many times of uncertainty. From long trips to and from her specialists, to undergoing various chemo treatments in an attempt to put her disease into remission, Logan was able to remain focused on her schoolwork and even managed to make it to the Cheerleading World Championships three times where she earned an 11th place ranking! Logan is wise beyond her years as she proves while discussing the impact that eating a healthy diet, exercise and a positive mindset has had on her ability to reduce flare-ups and feel good. Everyone needs to take notes on this one!

Finally, the Two Fit Crazies fill in Logan on their 40-mile run for Christine’s 40th birthday to benefit her scholarship and how Logan must now continue her journey to inspire others through her story! Logan will be attending Seton Hall University this fall where she has already been accepted to a 6-year occupational therapy program.

Thank you to the Brick Township Chamber of Commerce and the Muller Family for making this episode so special.
