Michigan to New York Run Welcome to the show everyone! I hope you are all well! My guest today was a 40-year-old mother of two,  when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in December of 2012. She underwent a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery shortly after the diagnosis. Three months prior to her cancer diagnosis, she ran a 40 mile trail race to raise money for a local food bank. As an avid runner, she decided to raise money and breast cancer awareness by running 470 miles from her current residence in Pinckney, Michigan to Sodus Point, New York, her hometown. The run took two weeks to complete, averaging over 30 miles per day. She has raised over $20,000 for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s research and awareness programs and attributes her survival to early detection and the many advances in breast cancer research. She says she hopes to inspire others to set goals they believe in, dream big and help others while they are achieving those goals. She also wants to set a positive example for her two daughters and instill in them to never put limits on themselves. And to celebrate her own health by supporting those more severely impacted by breast cancer. Links For This Episode Run Michigan to New York Website Follow Davina on Twitter Follow Davina on Facebook
