Meet Community Team member, Denoja - whose journey

Meet Community Team member, Denoja - whose journey is filled with strength, perseverance, and heart. If you see her at the Beneva Spring Run-Off on Saturday, don't hesitate to say hi! 👋

Her Story 💜
I am a South Asian Eelam Tamil Women born in Toronto but reside in Scarborough. I am a childhood thyroid cancer and mental health survivor/advocate.

When I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at the age of 5, I lost myself. It was a mixture of not knowing how to handle the treatments and constant hospital visits. I didn't know how to love myself, and the body changes didn't help. I was bullied throughout my life for it, and it took me years not to live in fear or darkness. However, throughout all of the struggles, I told myself that I would not quit and would continue to fight through all obstacles.

Being diagnosed with cancer, a learning disability, and mental and personality disorders has taken a toll on me since early childhood, and still does. I never thought I had a "runners' body". Many people made fun of my size and weight. Having thyroid cancer still affects my body, but it doesn't stop me from getting out the door. I share this to show that EVERYBODY has a runner's body. Running saved my life. It makes me feel strong, alive, connects me with people, and honours the battles I have won and continue to face.

My goal is to represent and empower the BIPOC community through diversity, inclusivity and equity, and proving that running is for EveryBODY.

Who is your biggest inspiration for running? 🫶

My grandma. She was my best friend and the one who ultimately motivated me with my running journey. I wouldn't be where I am today without her.

Why do you love spring run-off? 💜🌸

I love Spring Run-Off because it is sentimental to me. I do it in memory of my grandma who I lost in April 2017. This was one of the races she supported me with. It is the best race to kick off the spring season.

I also love this race because I usually cheer with the best run crews at the best cheer spot - the middle of Kill the Hill! This year I'm running, and can't wait to see my fam from Chix Run the 6ix, Black Runners of the GTA, and the Kardia crew!
