In 2020, Nicole was a mom of two, a speech-language pathologist, and an avid runner. Suddenly, that description expanded to include "cancer patient."
Through the appointments and uncertainty, she kept running. "It reminded me that my body was still capable and that I could continue to move forward, even when I could not see very far ahead," she said. Today, she's running marathons.
Having seen firsthand the benefits of exercising throughout treatment, Nicole worked with Livestrong to create Cancer to Crushing It, a six-week virtual run-training program for cancer survivors. Itโs built for people who are new to exercise or getting back to it after treatment. You start with plenty of walking and breaks, build up week by week, and finish by running a 5K.
The next cohort starts THIS WEEKEND on October 11. Youโll finish just in time for Turkey Trot season. Join us: https://ow.ly/s3ha50ZW6TP
