This will be my FIFTH year participating in the Workout to Conquer Cancer.
My "whys" have always been
- my late father, a lung cancer survivor
- my auntie who is a two-time cancer survivor
- for those affected by cancer
- and now, for myself... I had a cervical cancer scare around 2 years ago.
But my main "why" and the reason I started working out to conquer cancer is my 10 year old nephew. He was diagnosed with ALL (monosomy 7 & Philadelphia Chromosome) at the tender age of 2 1/2 years old. After a long fight, he is now cancer-free as of January 19, 2021 the last day he took his target medication, Dasatinib!
I will continue working out to conquer cancer for as long as my body allows me to. 2021's WTCC was a difficult one for me after being diagnosed with an inflammatory disease but I was still able to surpass my goal of $100. For this year's WTCC, my goal is to stay active EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. in May for those who can't, for those who have survived cancer, and for those who ARE strong enough to move!
