Then, 3 months after Kikkan reached her lifelong goal of becoming a Gold Medal Olympian, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.  The way she tells the story is both difficult to hear but also so inspiring to listen to.  Kikkan is taking on cancer just like she took on any competitive event.  She doesn’t quit.  She works her butt off.  And she refuses to give anything less than her best.  Enjoy this episode because it has every emotion within it and Kikkan gives us so many takeaways we can implement into our own lives.
