Ms. Namita Nayyar: With exceptional hard work you are credited with all your achievements. Do you believe that does the hand of Providence (Supreme Being) played a role in your success?
Ms. Alise Post: I believe that things happen for a reason and people have a way of finding their place in life. I have been lucky enough to have been blessed with athletic talent, great parents and a strong support system that have created a successful environment for me to perform. However, no matter how much talent you are “gifted” with, it all comes back to the here and now of whether you’re willing to put the work in and make the results happen. You have to invest in yourself and the people around you to see success, it’s never going to be simply handed to you.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: You have started the Annual “Alise Post MS Race for a Cure” in 2010 to give back, and has raised over $50k for the MS Society since then, tell us how you have been able to achieve and quench your thirst of giving back to the society through this endeavor of yours?
Ms. Alise Post: Every year this event is something I look forward to. I hope to see it grow even bigger in the future. I have always loved giving back – I believe that it is one of the roles you earn as you gain more influence within your communities. MS was the first disease I was truly touched by when my coach and her family, who did nothing but give to others, were stricken by this terrible disease.
Wanting to “support those who support me”, I started this race and it has become an annual event and something that many people within the BMX and Minnesota communities look forward to each year. Every time I am present at this event, get to see the check written out to the MS Society, get to see the expressions on my coaches’ family’s faces, and simply get thank you emails from people I do not even know, it brings a big smile to my face. In my eyes, people who face these life threatening diseases encompass the true meaning of strength and there is a lot to be learned from them. I hope to do more for other people/organizations in the future, but for now this has been a great eye opener in how great it feels to do something for others with no strings attached.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: What you wish to say about the website Womenfitness.net and message for its visitors?
Ms. Alise Post: Womensfitness.net is a great outlet for women of all ages and disciplines in life to be inspired by each other. Living a healthy lifestyle is a key to happiness, and every woman deserves to be happy. Being able to go to one place and learn so much about health and other women’s success stories is both amazing and inspiring. And most importantly, it’s REAL. So many things we see and read this day in age are fake and it’s refreshing to read and share realities with other women who face the same challenges in life.
