Durham & The Space Utilized For Brain Tumor Research
By Rob Sutter
When it comes to brain tumor research, it seems like just about anyone can affirm that it takes a toll on one's physical stature. As someone was once able to execute just about any action imaginable, they have slowed down because of the condition that they have. However, this isn't the case for everyone, as such an instance may have pushed them to work even harder than before. For one man in Durham, this seems to be the case as he wants to prove himself in the realm of competition.
The subject of Greg Sousa has come about in an article on the Herald-Sun. Basically, he was able to move onto the finals of the Ironman Hawaii competition, another step closer to his goal, thanks to the amount of votes and support given by the public. It's clear that the 43-year-old man afflicted with cancer has been the subject of a great story and one that should earn the attention of organizations related to awareness, Voices Against Brain Cancer included. Brain tumor research activists will most likely focus on this as well.
It's not like this is Sousa's first bout of physical activity, though, as it's been said that he's been in 30 triathlons ever since he was 23. Last summer, though, doctors found a two-inch tumor in his brain, which required surgery to remove. Even though it was taken out, malignant cells have remained. It's clear that the Ironman Hawaii event has meant a great deal to him, though. Not only does it earn more media coverage than any other triathlon but it seems to be a passion of Sousa's as well.
It's interesting to see just how much drive Sousa has, as the article has been able to cite. Even though he is currently going through his 11th bout of chemotherapy, this hasn't changed the fact that he has worked tremendously hard for the competition. He engages in swimming twice a week and his biking - along with running - efforts have been done three to four times on a weekly basis as well. Despite how much of an impact the condition has had on his fatigue, the effort has not waned.
It's clear that brain tumor research can bring in a great deal of attention. It would be for the best, though, considering just how much activity is occurring in the way of raising awareness and the work done in the medical shield cannot be understated, either. However, should stories about this cancer in general be the only ones that are showcased? I think that there is always room for the feel-good stories and Sousa's is just as uplifting as any that one can possibly imagine.
