A message of hope from Gabe Grunewald before her death has pushed the former college runner forward. ❤️
, whether it was during his high school cross-country practice, midrace, or afterward.
—who passed away in June from cancer—Carles was determined to keep fighting for his life. And running, he learned, was just the way to do it.Throughout 2014 and 2015, Carles kept pushing through tough practices, not wanting to ease up on his training. Soon, though, his symptoms got so bad that he needed to seek medical help.
“I was posting 60-mile weeks with workouts, so it didn’t add up. I thought I was getting old,” he says. “My coaches were really upset with me because they thought I was going out partying because I was throwing up. I was physically unwell, which translated mentally.”After finishing college, he entered grad school for integrated media arts, was working two part-time internships, and commuting from Staten Island to New York City, all while running 20 to 30 miles a week.
“The doctor took a look at me for less than 15 seconds and was prodding my stomach. He asked, ‘Can you stop flexing?’ And I told him I wasn’t,” Carles says. “He basically said, ‘Uh oh, this might be a tumor.’Carles was sent to the ER, where he had several X-rays, CT scans, and blood tests. What doctors found was devastating: a 7-pound tumor. It was eventually biopsied and came back with another blow.
