He explains how connecting to a cause and building a team allows him to cross the finish line and make a difference for himself, his team, and all who are in difficult situations they did not choose. Rob DeCou is an entrepreneur, educator and an ultra-endurance athlete who uses his passions and abilities for the purpose of raising awareness and building community around important issues.
