In 2011 I was diagnosed with an aggressive blood cancer and told I would most likely not live the year. In spite of many setbacks, I started running in 2013, and ran my first marathon in 2015. Then I thought, why not try for Boston? I entered as a mobility-impaired athlete and ran last April with my friend Mike as my guide. Never lose hope, friends, cancer didn’t win!
