I said I would never give up, so I raced until the end 💪 In 2018, Lisa Mersch began suffering from severe headaches that doctors initially dismissed as stress-related. In August 2022, the pain returned, a second MRI showed that she had a growth – either a cyst or a tumour - but it was deemed too small to cause a problem. Another doctor reviewed her scans and immediately diagnosed a brain tumour requiring urgent surgery. The operation saved her life but left her with paralysis on her right side, double vision, and difficulty swallowing and doctors told her she would never return to competitive sport. This year, she proudly finished her first-ever IRONMAN 70.3 in Jönköping, proving that resilience has no limits. #IRONMANtri #IMWC
