Campaign idea: Lisa is taking on 26 miles at 61
After cancer treatment, chronic spinal pain and fifteen years away from distance running, Lisa is taking on 26 miles at 61.
This story
Fifteen years after her first marathon, Lisa faced cancer treatment, degenerative spinal disease, arthritis and mental health challenges that left her wondering if she would ever run again. Three years ago she started small by changing her routine and lifting weights, eventually rediscovering her joy for running while jogging along a beach. Now, with spinal degeneration and upcoming foot surgery likely making this her last chance, she is preparing for the London Marathon.
