Trailblazing marathon mum who survived cervical cancer

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: With marathon woman Karen Loh Kher Heem, 52, the wonders never cease, just as when she battled cervical cancer and kept running.

Her health ordeal merely slowed, but never stopped, her insatiable hunger for running.

The former lawyer, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July 2017, returned to running two months after her surgery and ran up to three kilometres during her chemotherapy.

Upon being declared cancer-free, she took part in the 2019 London Marathon, adding to her exploits at major marathons in Berlin (2013), Chicago (2014), Sydney (2016/2018) and Shenzhen (December 2017/2019).
