Thanh Vu first met founder of ACC, Dr Wade at the Mountain Marathon. At a joint charity event with Dr Wade later, Thanh Vu mooted her intentions of taking a year off for the Grand Slams. While preparing for the challenge, she discovered a serious setback in her extensively pronated feet. Dr Wade worked with Thanh Vu to build proper orthotics in order for her to be able to run correctly, and for very long distances critical in these challenges. Throughout her races, Thanh Vu would continue to undergo regular treatments at ACC for the variety of injuries sustained during her marathons. Rocktaping has also provided her constant support through the races.
