SPORTS Runner Battling Cancer for 4th Time Still Competing During Chemo: I Need to ‘Carry On’

POSTED ON 
Not even chemotherapy can keep Gabe Grunewald off the track.

The 30-year-old from Minneapolis, Minnesota, is fighting cancer for the fourth time — but says that running is what keeps her going every day.
“I’ve always loved running and I never want cancer to take that away from me,” Grunewald tells PEOPLE. “Having the opportunity to be a professional runner was something that I never expected.”
Her battle began when she was first diagnosed in 2009 with adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare form of cancer. Surgery to remove the tumor from her salivary gland was successful, but two years later the cancer reappeared in her thyroid, which was also removed.
