My Story…
Moving forward after a diagnosis of breast cancer isn’t always easy. Sometimes the very treatment that takes away the cancer also takes away a part of us. In my case, that part was my feet.
Neuropathy from the chemo left them in constant pain. Running, hiking, even walking became challenging. Now, 11 years after my diagnosis, I’ve chosen to move…in spite of the pain. Baby steps, but in the last few months I’ve gone from barely being able to walk a mile to walking three miles in an hour. No small accomplishment for sure, as the pain is still real.
Now, me and my feet are ready to take on the 6k Girlfriend’s Walk. Because, cancer and pain aren’t going to hold me back anymore!
