1K Miles of Hope | Ep. 03: Third Day

I decide to run 1,000 miles over 100 days against cancer.

I wake up on day three with intense pain. My left ankle hits the wall when I try to turn in bed. Yesterday I put a lot of strain on that side with all the short turns around the block. I repeat the treatment: anti-inflammatory, ice, camphor, menthol, methyl salicylate. Two rounds, three rounds. I wait until evening — but nothing changes. In fact, it gets worse.

I find myself in front of a dilemma: either push forward and try to run relying only on my head, forcing my body to endure the unbearable, or spend today on treatment in a way that doesn't compromise the project as a whole.

That's what I do. I use the day to take care of the injuries and also to reach out to potential sponsors and companies.

I'm here to raise funds for cancer research.

I used to hear that prevention was enough — but then I found out it isn't. There are far more variables than we can imagine. The best path forward is a cure. Make your donation. Let's be part of this together.
