In
Last Place
ZOE KOPLOWITZ
Zoe Koplowitz is the award-winning author of “The
Winning spirit – Life Lessons Learned in Last Place”.
The book hailed by critics as “consistently
affecting…memorable…and uproarious.” It has been selected as one
the top motivational books of the year in the Barnes and Noble “Books
for a Better Life Award”.
In a world that values FAST, Zoe is perpetually
SLOW. In a world that
demands FIRST, she gives new meaning to the word LAST. Zoe, a
fifty-year-old native New Yorker, has successfully completed sixteen
marathons, fourteen in New York, one in Boston and one in London. In the
process she has set four world records.
She is the first woman with Multiple Sclerosis to
complete 16 consecutive marathons, all in last place. Her thirty-six
hour, fifteen minute run has re-set a world record for the longest
marathon in the history of women’s running.
Zoe has been featured on the “Rosie O’Donnell
Show, Joan River’s Show, Sally Jessy Raphael, the Today Show, CNN,
ESPN, and many other national television and radio programs, She has
presented motivational speeches from the shores of Oahu to the shores of
her native New York. She also holds the distinction of being the only
non-celebrity to be featured in the famous MILK MUSTACH advertisement.
Her marathons have become a metaphor for
self-acceptance and personal achievement. Her transformational journey
of the spirit has captured the imagination of hundreds of thousands of
people all over the world, superseding the boundaries of race, class and
economics.
