Mona Vespa is the President of GO! St. Louis. GO! is a local non-profit organization that encourages individuals and families in the #STL region to adopt a healthy and active lifestyle year round. They accomplish this through community collaborations, school-based programming and the creation of new and fun fitness events:
“Running is my sport, my hobby and my profession! Personally, I can’t imagine a better way to explore your own city than on foot, and the greenways are the perfect way to do that! Every time I run a greenway, I am reminded that our city is incredibly diverse in landscape and character, but is also comprised of neighborhoods and communities who are all working towards a similar goal: to make their part of our city a vibrant and welcoming home. And as a part of my job, what a joy it is to share that with the runners and walkers of our area. I’ve used greenways for several GO! St. Louis race routes, and our Summer Passport program’s entire focus is to introduce more runners to the incredible gem of these paths throughout our city. GO! St. Louis is thankful for GRG’s work and dedication to outdoor recreation in our region!”

Riz Khan recently joined the Great Rivers Greenway as an Outreach Specialist. These valued team members help out at events and programs across the region- answering questions, sharing project updates and handing out maps and greenway “swag.” Riz shares why he wanted to get involved with Great Rivers Greenway:
“For most of my career I have worked in the corporate world across the globe (India, UK & in US). I recently started to feel something was missing in my life. One day I came across an article about Great Rivers Greenway that really piqued my interest. I realized that the greenways are more than just trails… they are places where you can spend time outside and also connect to trains, buses, markets, neighborhoods, businesses, parks and more. I am totally in love with the mission to connect this region with greenways and encourage people to live life outside. To be honest, I wasn’t much of an outdoors person before, but now I am. I believe the more time we spend outdoors, the healthier and happier we are. I think it also creates better bonding with our family. I am grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of this mission.”
