In January of 2015, I had the first of two Brain Surgeries. Recovery was not easy, but I had an amazing team of doctors at the Cleveland Clinic and supportive family and friends. Today I continue to be followed closely by a Nerurologist and a Neuro Oncologist, but have been lucky enough to live a healthy, happy life. Running is a huge part of my life, and most recently I qualified to the US Olympic Trials in the Marathon, 4 years after my first surgery.
Each day, 700 people will be diagnosed with a brain tumor. To show my support, I will be participating in the American Brain Tumor Association’s BT5K Breakthrough for Brain Tumors Run & Walk. Money raised by the BT5K will provide critical funding for brain tumor research and for supportive patient care.
