Battling for life, cancer survivor completes 18th marathon
(MENAFN) A 55-year-old cancer survivor, Ma Zhiyong, completed the Wuhan Marathon on Sunday, sending an emotional "I'm safe" message to his family immediately after crossing the finish line. Despite battling throat cancer and undergoing three surgeries, which left him without vocal cords, Ma completed his 18th full marathon.
"The sound is produced by my muscle and airflow," he explained, gently touching his throat with a composed demeanor that masked his inner struggles.
The gray-haired runner stood out among the thousands of participants, his face beaming with a hard-earned smile, a testament to his resilience.
His journey began following a diagnosis of throat cancer in April 2018. At the time, Ma was a staff member at an agricultural bank in Chengde City, Hebei Province. Doctors recommended that he engages in moderate workout to aid his recovery just 30 days after his initial surgery.
The Wuhan Marathon marked a significant milestone in Ma's post-cancer journey, highlighting his determination and the power of perseverance. His story has resonated with many, serving as an inspiration to those facing similar health challenges.
