“I’m thankful that being an athlete has created a relationship of trust with my body and intuition. When I started experiencing symptoms from PV, I knew something was off. Running gave me an outlet to feel my emotions and just feel alive. It is a reminder of who I am and what I am capable of. I am convinced that running is going to keep me alive and counteract the impact PV may have on me physically.”
