In the fall of 2013, I wasn’t feeling well. I had a slew of issues for which I had countless medical consultations to try to figure out what was wrong. Then, after I got an abnormal blood test result, everything changed.

It was during one of my daily runs when I first experienced symptoms of not being well. Within two days of the initial pain, I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. This was the first major illness that I had experienced.

My journey with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) hasn’t been easy, but all-in-all it has been fairly positive. I was diagnosed with CLL in August 2009 through routine blood work and was put on “watch and wait” for four years.
