Vitalie Budaca

Hi, I’m Vitalie Budaca a spinal cord injury survivor, endurance athlete, and community advocate based in Seattle. Running has been a powerful part of my recovery journey, and I use it to promote resilience, inclusivity, and the belief that movement is for everyone. This year, I’m training for the Great Wall of China Marathon on May 2026, and I’m passionate about connecting with runners of all abilities, supporting meaningful causes through endurance events, and inspiring others to keep moving forward no matter the obstacles.
