Have you ever thought of doing a mud run? A 5K? Maybe even a 10K? Well this little girl blew everyone away when she did an obstacle course that was designed for Navy SEALs. Her story blew up on every news website.
9-year-old Milla Star Bizzotto was constantly bullied in school. People would call her names and she wanted to overcome that. To combat this, she decided to train and show everyone exactly what she can do. To prepare for this obstacle course, she trained five days a week for three hours a day. Bizzotto was able to raise over $1,500 through her GoFundMe page for her gear. She isn’t like most 9-year-olds who want to play regular sports or video games.
The obstacle course is called the BattleFrog 24-hour Xtreme race. This obstacle course consists of a five mile run with 25 different obstacles and an around 30 mile swimming portion. This obstacle course is meant to test the limits of the fittest adults. Bizzotto was the only one under the age of 18 to participate in the race. BattleFrog allowed her to participate in the race as long as her father stayed by her side.
Since she has accomplished this race, she doesn’t get bullied anymore, and she knows now how to stand up for herself. She wants to set an example for others who are bullied. She has over 41,000 followers on Instagram, so her inspiration has quickly gone viral. Moving forward from here, Bizzotto plans to continue training and competing in races. I only hope to be as tough as this little girl is.
