A University of Guelph student has completed a 150-kilometre run just weeks after completing radiation therapy for a brain tumour. The effort raised $26,000 for cancer research.

“I tried to stay positive throughout the run, but my parents can definitely vouch for the fact that sometimes it was hard to get up in the mornings to prepare myself for the next 30 kilometres,” she said.“But I did have some friends and my dad biking and running with me and they definitely helped keep my spirits up. We also had music playing.”

Davis is a cross-country and track-and-field runner with the U of G Gryphons. Before her surgery, she was training for the eight-kilometre cross-country competition. On the track, she competes in the 800-metre and 1,500-metre events. “As an athlete, you push yourself to break through so many different boundaries and sometimes it’s hard to crash through them,” she said.
