Story
My grandmother (Gloria), or “Grandmamina” as we belovedly call her, was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in 2022. Despite her diagnosis, she continued to personal train her clients until her recent death at 86.
"Fitness is a constant effort to keep our mind, our spirit, and our body at the same level. We cannot reshape and strengthen our body until you set your mind and spirit." - Grandmamina (Gloria Chiesi)
Beyond my grandmother’s story, I’m acutely aware of how under-recognized gynecological cancers are through my career as a pharmaceutical life science consultant. Grandmamina's late diagnosis happens too often and highlights the urgent need for greater awareness, early detection, and dedicated research.
Running the London Marathon for The Eve Appeal is my way of honoring my grandmother’s incredible fight. This race is for her—and for every woman who deserves to live a healthy life, free from the burden of gynecological diseases.
