Meet Linda, a RAD runner from Hartford!
Linda spent several years training as a long distance runner and was then diagnosed with breast cancer. Linda continued running through chemo and made it through 10 miles of a half marathon while in the midst of chemo treatments. In Linda’s own words:
I was diagnosed with breast cancer and used running to get me through chemo – I had signed up for a half marathon – I managed to get through the first 10 miles before the chemo kicked in. I have completed 2 – 10 mile races and a number of fun runs… I am signed up for 2 half marathons the beginning of 2016 – I am going to cross the finish line…
This month we celebrate Linda and all other RAD runners by spreading the word about breast cancer awareness.
