Why Ben Lyne, a runner with a sign, believes in you

Since 2022 runner Ben Lyne has been cheering people up across the Wasatch Front, and then the world, with a simple message on a handheld sign, “I believe in you.” Having been an avid runner for over a decade, he had often pondered ways to help uplift those he passed when the idea of the sign came to him. Ben now encourages others with his sign in real life, at events, and in his online presence. He joins this episode of Relentlessly Resilient to share the story of running for a cause. 

Even though we live in challenging times, we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie’s husband, Major Brent Taylor, was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together, and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.
