📖 Cathy's Story
- Journey Start: Cathy's journey with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma began in Feb 1996, six years before her official diagnosis. In 1996, she raised $3200 for LLS, possibly sensing her future battle.
- Treatment: In Nov 2011, she developed symptoms and underwent treatment at Cleveland Clinic from 2012 to 2013, managing chemo and hair loss.
- Resilience: Despite challenges, she continued to work full time and teach reading to underprivileged children while running 20 to 30 miles per week.
- Active Spirit: Cathy opted for an aggressive bone cell transplant in Dec 2013 and remained active, spreading smiles and resuming her normal activities post-release.
