Nicole Talmadge hopes that her work will help break cycles of generational poverty. She wishes to honor her mother’s legacy, who was also a volunteer in Madison. As Executive Director of the Kids’ Scholarship Fund, Nicole has worked hard to award scholarships that connect underprivileged children with schools where they can find safety and support. She also started the OutRun 38 foundation, uniting over 6,000 runners, walkers, hikers, and triathletes worldwide to raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis.
