LITE-FM's Christmas Wish is back, thanks to our friends at Pioneer Federal Credit Union.
Every single Christmas Wish nomination that we receives leaves a footprint on our hearts, but this one is really tough. Boise has a really beautiful running community and it turns out we have some mutual friends with Jenny. That's why we were surprised when we saw her son Blake's nomination for her come across the Christmas Wish team's desk.
We knew Jenny as an ultramarathoner who celebrated beating colon cancer by running 100 miles. She was declared cancer free years ago, but last winter she noticed that she was something just didn't seem right while she was running. She felt like she wasn't getting enough air into her lungs and asked her doctor about it. He dismissed it as asthma. Runners are incredibly in tune with their bodies and Jenny knew that it wasn't asthma.
