Athlete Stories

From Survivor to Victor

Four years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer and two years ago I started my triathlon journey. Having barely any athletic experience, I decided to challenge myself with a humongous goal — as if completing active treatment wasn’t enough of an accomplishment!
