Thanks for sharing this. I am a cancer survivor and running helped me get through. I imagined chemo like a half marathon -- ticking off the miles (chemo sessions) to get to the finish line. My identity as a runner helped me fight and being able to run after my treatment was over was a gift. Gabe's life was an inspiration she showed the world how to be a person with cancer -- not a victim of cancer. What really touches me is how she talks about the fear and uncertainty. That is what continues after the treatment is over. I will hold her and her family in my heart as I run on.
