Ingrid Walters is a national champion runner, breast cancer survivor, and working actor based in Los
Angeles. She was also a member of the UCLA swim team and a former Los Angeles County Ocean
Lifeguard. In 2019, just one month before being diagnosed with breast cancer, she placed first in the open
women’s division of the LA Marathon—a career-defining moment that became even more meaningful as it
preceded the fight of her life. Throughout her treatment—including surgery, chemotherapy, and
radiation—she continued to train and compete, becoming a source of inspiration to fellow athletes,
survivors, and medical professionals alike. Her resilience and determination showed others what was
possible, even in the face of profound challenges. In addition to her athletic achievements, Ingrid’s acting
credits include numerous television, film, and commercial work. She brings the same discipline, heart,
and strength to her performances as she does to her training. Her passion lies in telling stories that reflect
perseverance and authenticity, and she is especially committed to representing survivors and athletes on
screen. She is honored to serve as an ambassador for Teen Cancer America, and continues to
encourage others to fight for their health, their voice, and their dreams.
