Running for a Friend Fighting Cancer
Description
This Sunday, Sashae Walls runs the B.A.A. 10K not just for herself, but for her best friend Yasmine Akib, who battled breast cancer last year. Their lifelong bond, forged in childhood, has only deepened through adversity. Akib caught her cancer early by listening to her body—thanks to her proactive care, she’s now recovering after surgery. Walls found solace and purpose in running, channeling her energy into fundraising for Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute, the hospital that supported Akib. Every step fuels her determination, especially on tough training days, reminding her she’s running for her friend and for everyone who can’t. Akib is deeply touched by Walls’ dedication, calling their journey a powerful testament to friendship and resilience.
