2 year Anniversary
Two years ago today November 9, 2009, I underwent extensive surgery after being diagnosed with Breast Cancer. It has been an amazing journey and in the last 24 months I have run 23 marathons bringing my total to 256, I have had the opportunity to inspire thousands of people by sharing my story of overcoming challenges, and each day brings a new blessing to live life to it's fullest! Cancer didn't win this battle, I won this battle! I am Alive and I can't wait to live the rest of my life! I have set the goal of running 500 marathons......continue to follow my journey!
