Dawn Davis Calhoun Pt 1

This episode is tribute to a staple in the running and endurance community, Dawn Davis Calhoun was a wife, mother, sister, daughter and friend who sought to squeeze every last drop out of life.  Dawn was an inspirational fighter who lived her life out loud and shared her journey every step of the way to inspire, educate and to bring hope to others battling cancer.   Dawn was a 11+3 or 14-year breast cancer survivor who was first diagnosed in 2004 at that time is was stage 1.  After going through chemo, radiation, and a couple of surgeries, she was cancer free for 11yrs.  In 2015 after the passing of a friend to cancer, she felt something in the back of neck.  Ever vigilant Dawn went to her doctor and he referred to her oncologist because of her health history.  After a variety of exams, lab work, biopsies and everything in between it was determined that she had stage 4 metastatic breast cancer and that was the start of her second journey.  This week Dawn crossed the finish line.   In this episode you'll hear some rare clips from Dawn, interviews with Crystal Blair and Evonne Bennett-(Dawn's Best Friends).  Special thanks to Khadijah Diggs and Halima Mason who provide video footage and Kimberly Tucker Hall who conducted an interview with Dawn for Sole Inspired in October 2018. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/derek-oxley/support
