This is my first time running the Comrades Marathon, and it has been a long road to get here. In 2018 I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I had a seizure after a race. I thought I would never race again. Since then I have slowly built up my fitness and strength to do what I once thought was inconceivable - first half marathons, then marathons, and now taking on this ridiculously incredible challenge. I have known cancer in my life from a young age, and have lost 2 grandparents, 2 aunts, and both my parents to cancer. It makes the race all the more meaningful to be able to contribute to a charity like CHOC, who save lives and ease suffering for so many children and families affected by cancer.
