When Keilany Santos was 17, she was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma — a rare type of blood cancer. In 2019, she finished her treatment at Long Island Jewish Medical Center but later found that she had vascular necrosis in both hips, a side effect of steroid use during her treatments. This led to two hip replacements. In 2023, Kellany developed necrosis in her right shoulder also from her treatments and had a partial shoulder replacement. Despite all the setbacks, Kellany hasn't let anything stop her. In fact, she's now training for a half marathon. Kellany, we're inspired by you and your determination. Good luck! 🏃♀️💨 Read more about her inspiring journey ▶️ https://bit.ly/41cMdML
