I just remember thinking to myself, ‘You can’t possibly lose two parents to cancer, can you?’” Bruce says. “And then I realized, 'Yes you can. Life doesn’t care.'"

Bruce became her mother’s primary caretaker and helped Joan through chemotherapy, a double mastectomy and radiation. Like she did 15 years earlier, Bruce turned to running to push her through the pain.

“I don’t know what kept me going, honestly,” Bruce says. “I just have a deep intrinsic motivation that I want to find out how good I can be, and running serves the purpose in life that, when we have so many things that get thrown at us that we don’t have control of, we still have control of how much we can push ourselves in running. It just made me feel alive to be able to do it. It’s resisting complacency.”

Thanks to Alaa of SportsIllustrated for beautifully telling my story of how my family motivated me to train and compete, and still motivate me.
