Teri Griege was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer in 2009 after completing her second Ironman competition. Today, Teri, who describes herself as a “cancer thriver,” is supporting cancer research as an American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Runners for Research team ambassador.
“Cancer research is the key for me to be here. The research is how we will find cures, but if not cures, research will lead to new therapies that will enable me and other cancer thrivers to live longer and better, more productive lives.”
