How Much Passion Do Brain Cancer Patients Have?
By Rob Sutter
There's something to be said about brain cancer patients: they have more drive than just about anyone else. It seems like they're able to make the most out of each day, which I feel like just about anyone should be able to do. One story about this condition caught my eye and it was, to say the least, uplifting. It showed me just how great the degree of drive was and how it can push them to do just about anything, regardless of how great the output may be.
An article on Competitor.com told about a brain cancer patient who had run a marathon. Iram Leon has a brain tumor and doctors believe that it will kill him before he reaches the age of 40, which hasn't seemed to slow him down much. In fact, as a runner, he constantly pushes himself more, especially considering how taxing the Gusher Marathon in Beaumont, Texas would be. This is the kind of feel-good story that companies like Voice Against Brain Cancer should key in on.
This marathon showcased Leon's ability to push himself but his propensity to win as well. The article stated that he completed the race as the victor, his time being that of 3 hours, seven minutes, and 35 seconds. It's apparent that this is a great time, especially when you consider that he performed it all while pushing a jog stroller occupied by his six-year-old daughter, Kiana. Due to this level of strength, I think that Leon should be regarded as a great influence and no one should say differently.
This condition is one that may be debilitating but to say that it completely cuts out the possibility of physical activity would be an absolute lie, in my mind. I believe that people can only become more driven based on what they're been given and perform better than anyone else in a competition. Leon's story clearly displays this level of heart and then some. All one person has to do is look at Leon to see that strength can be present, no matter what the condition may be.
Brain cancer has seemingly sprouted a number of news stories, especially ones which talk about research and the many findings of medical specialists. What about the kinds of reports which talk about the triumphs of these people during everyday life? Leon's goals were ones that had to be reached and he was able to successfully clear one, based on this story alone. One can win and I think that all it really takes is the drive so that they can, in time, reach that end.
