The professional athlete who became a gold medalist in the Olympics for the disabled has never met a challenge she couldnt overcome，whether it was a mountain bike race or cancer.

Later at a sports camp in Arizona，she realised something was wrong. Once I got on my bike I was so painful that it was hard to lift my legs.I flew back home to go to hospital.” What doctors found shocked them all: Whitmore had a soft tissue tumour（肿瘤）that started in the bone，and the tumour wrapped around her nerves of waist，touching several vital organs.

She also started radiation treatment，but four months later，doctors had worse news:A scan showed the cancer was back. “This time it was more aggressive. Doctors took the rest of my nerves in the waist，and removed some tumours from my tail bone.” Whitmore developed sepsis（脓毒症）from the surgery and endured a two-month recovery. “My scans were coming back，showing I was clear of cancer，but now I had all of these other complications（并发症）.” Today，Whitmore is a mother and cancer-free.
