Strength Through Strides – A Journey of Survival and Triumph
Strength Through Strides is a docuseries directed by Emmy-nominated director Tj Misny, following Summer Willis as she embarks on an emotional and physical journey like no other. Once unable to run a mile, Summer now attempts to run 7 marathons in just 6 weeks across five states.

With every step, Summer fights not only for herself but for survivors everywhere. The goal of Strength Through Strides is simple yet powerful: to give hope to those who feel they have none, to show that the past does not define the future, and to inspire survivors to reclaim their lives. Summer’s journey is living proof that no matter how painful the past, there is always a path forward.
Filmed by a talented crew under the visionary direction of TJ Misny, this raw and intimate series captures Summer’s struggles and victories in their purest form, offering a powerful message: if she can do it, so can you. Her story is one of resilience, courage, and transformation—a testament to the strength within us all.
This series is for anyone who needs a reminder that hope is never lost, and change is always possible.
