Ave the Runner

Living with PHACE syndrome

has made me strong,

even when the road feels hard and long.

I lace my shoes and start to run,

beneath the sky,

beneath the sun.

Each step I take,

each mile I go,

reminds me just how much I grow.

My path may twist,

my story bends,

but courage stays with me to the end.

So when the world says

“slow your pace,”

I run with hope, with strength, with grace.
