Teresa's Story

"I lost one of my best friends, Grace, to ovarian cancer last year. She was 31, and had had two recurrences after being diagnosed in her twenties, leading to the removal of one of her ovaries. She had a tradition of doing half marathons within a year of finishing chemo, and when we met, we became running buddies and fast friends.

 

I run half marathons because Grace no longer can. I do it to raise money for charities helping others like Grace, and for the hope that eventually no one else will go through what she did. I run in her memory and in her honour, because doing so keeps a small bit of her alive.” – Teresa
