- Summary
- At 41 -- with two teenagers and a contentedly unadventurous life -- Heather Hawkins made a doctor's appointment. Diagnosed with stage one ovarian cancer, within nine days she had surgery to remove an 18 cm tumour, and a full hysterectomy. Instead of chemotherapy, she chose a non-invasive surveillance treatment. The experience reignited Heather's adventurous and invincible spirit. At 47 she pulled on an old pair of shorts and runners and struggled to the end of a 4 km mothers' day fun run with her kids. Five years later she has 17 marathons and 3 ultra marathons under her belt, including the North Pole Marathon and the extraordinary World Marathon Challenge -- a gruelling seven marathons in seven days on seven continents. She topped that off by trekking 1700 km in the thin air of Nepal's Great Himalaya Trail
