Run for the cure 2017!

Last Sunday Shannon and I ran the run for the cure 2017! It was a fun event and a bit emotional too. Together we raised almost 3000 dollars which is so amazing! 
As I was running I thought a lot about the last year/16 months and I am a bit amazed how far I have come.  I feel very grateful for my state of health today and was able to run it in 37 min - which isn’t fast by any means but it was faster than my practice times and I think I was one of the only survivors to run it period! Most walked. 
I am very grateful for a wonderful friend who shared this day with me too.
I also met Dr. Alexandra Ginty who wrote the book “Both sides” - part of it talks about how being a breast cancer survivor has influenced her role as a doctor. There is also a lot of inspirational poems and quotes and general advice that helped me move forward from my own diagnosis.
