What is a #TCMbassador?
As TCM’s vision is a community that engages each other through movement, a #TCMbassador is someone who:
-
loves motivating others
-
believes in creating welcoming spaces for all
-
is eager to be an advocate and make a difference in their community
-
believes in TCM's vision of a healthier society - physically, mentally, and socially.
TCMbassadors represent all types of movers, from first timers eager to share their journey, to seasoned runners with advice to share, we're creating a community that speaks to all.
