\\u201cIt\\u2019s OK to struggle, but it\\u2019s not OK to give up.\\u201d \\u2014Gabe Grunewald

Gabriele \\u201cGabe\\u201d Grunewald was a professional middle-distance runner from Minneapolis, MN. She was first diagnosed with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma when she was in college and undoubtedly in the best shape of her life. Instead of finishing her college running career on a high note \\u2014\\xa0or, better yet, a podium \\u2014 Gabe was faced with a difficult and scary diagnosis. She underwent several surgeries, including having more than half of her liver removed after the third time the cancer came back.

Gabe passed away on June 11, 2019. Today, we are revisiting her conversation on the Ali on the Run Show, recorded in February 2018. In this conversation, Gabe talked about the difference between fighting and giving up, and explained what it means to be \\u201cbrave like Gabe.\\u201d
