Nearly three years ago, Davina McNaney was a 40-year-old mother of two whom, on a routine doctor’s visit, received her first mammogram.

The test took place days after she completed a 40-mile run to benefit a local food bank. Soon after, she received the devastating news that she had breast cancer. Once the cancerous lump was found, she underwent a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery

“I have never been one to be viewed as a victim,” McNaney said. “I pride myself on being strong, independent and in control – and that was a moment I lost all control. That wasn’t a moment I was going to share with people.”

Now, McNaney, 42, has decided to go public with her story in a style all her own. She will embark on a 14-day run beginning June 19 across the Midwest.
Her 470-mile route will cross four states and six major cities.

Her run will end in Sodus Point, at the baseball field where she played Little League growing up.

To date, she has raised more than $10,000 for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. For more information, check out Davina McNaney’s fundraising page at https://give.bcrfcure.org/runmi2ny
