Description

Allison and Bre Vigor share an interest in ending human trafficking. Bre talks about her journey in running, starting from her inspiration from her mother's running career. She initially thought she was a sprinter but eventually fell in love with running longer distances. Bre shares that she faced challenges and a lack of support from her high school team but learned to rely on herself for motivation and support. Bre advises someone who wants to start running to focus on the act of putting one foot in front of the other and not worry about pace or time. She emphasizes the importance of remaining steadfast, powerful, and unpredictable, drawing inspiration from a lightning bolt symbol and a mantra bracelet she wears. Bre also shares her goal of incorporating her nonprofit organization, Stopping Traffic, with the running community to raise awareness about human trafficking. She discusses the beginnings of Stopping Traffic during the COVID-19 pandemic and her determination to make a difference despite facing obstacles. Bre mentions her collaborations with organizations like Camille Place, the Rose Center, the Child Advocacy Center, the FBI, and the US District Attorney's Office. She shares her personal story of being trafficked online as a middle schooler and her efforts to speak to 1.3 million individuals to raise awareness. She explains that recounting her experiences allows her to reclaim what was taken from her and use her story for the greater good. Bre acknowledges that her journey has made her stronger and shaped her career path. She looks forward to the future and the doors that continue to open for her.
