THREE years ago, Bernice McKee, then only 35, faced the harrowing diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer.

Today, she stands not just as a survivor but as a beacon of hope, committed to inspiring others on similar paths and raising vital awareness.

To mark her “cancerversary”, McKee says she has embarked on an audacious challenge: running and walking a staggering 276 kilometres between August 1 and October 31, one kilometre for each of the 276 days she spent in active treatment.

“Each step, each kilometre, each day, each breath is an incredible reminder of what it means to decide to do something and do it,” she says.
