“Don’t let fear hold you back” were six words Kelsey Hackem would have never thought she would be saying after being diagnosed with breast cancer at 30 years old. Her life in Columbus, Ohio was simple and beautiful. She belonged to an awesome CrossFit community, was practicing law at a non-profit, and was in a great relationship. She never imagined that going in for her annual check up would be the day that changed her life.
Kelsey considers herself lucky, that despite her young age, she was still insisted by her midwife to get a lump checked out that was felt during her clinical breast exam. She never considered anything would come of it.
Listen in on how Kelsey did not let her breast cancer diagnosis stop her from training through treatment, moving across the country and becoming an avid cyclist, and how she reminds us the importance of advocating for yourself. Her story will be sure to inspire you to “not let fear hold you back!”
