This week on Episode 113 of The Aid Station presented by njuko, we travel to a tiny mountain community in Patagonia Argentina to hear the remarkable story of Alex Tersoglio.


Hear how teaching the local doctor to speak English in the stunning alpine village of Villa la Angostura opened up an amazing journey. 


In a conversation that could have gone on for hours we explore her role in starting a blind runners club and taking an athlete to New York Marathon, creating a canine rescue squad and helping start a trail running event which she credits with helping her beat cancer.


Feel the raw emotion of the terrible impact of COVID-19 on the ill-equipped community of 3,000 people counterbalanced by Alex's incredible passion and zest for life including her role plogging at the back of last weekend's K42 trail race with 3,000 participants.


Hear stories of competing in endurance events with her daughter, Kenya and exploring the region together in her Citroen 3CV.
