Thousands have climbed Mount Everest. Hundreds have run across the United States. But no one had ever run the route of the Tour de France until Zoe came along. Last May, Zoe Romano made history by being the first person to accomplish this daunting feat. She ran to save the lives of critically ill children through World Pediatric Project.
