“Don’t give up, because if I gave up four years ago, I wouldn’t be here.” – Novlene Williams-Mills

In July 2013, Williams-Mills told members of the media that she was diagnosed with breast cancer before the 2012 Olympics. Very few people at the time knew about the diagnosis. Despite the diagnosis, she still ran the race and was able to help Jamaica win a bronze medal. After the Olympics, Williams-Mills had a mastectomy and in January 2013, had another operation. She has stated that she would run, “for all the breast cancer survivors out there.”
