Meet Winston Bruns, a man whose spirit burns brighter than any obstacle life throws his way. When brain cancer knocked on his door in June 2015 with a devastating Anaplastic Astrocytoma grade 3 diagnosis, Winston didn’t just answer – he kicked the door down with unstoppable determination!
Just three weeks after brain tumor surgery, Winston walked alongside his family at their first HFC 5k. One year later, he stepped onto a bodybuilding stage, claiming 3rd place. Not satisfied, he competed again just a week later, taking 2nd place!
Through the last ten years, his body has challenged him with injuries and even a double hip replacement. Yet, Winston’s resolve never wavered. While some days are harder than others, he perseveres. He’s become a friend and supporter in the brain cancer community, helping others through their journey and providing positive influence to those around him.
What better way to celebrate Winston in his TENTH year of no recurrence with another HFC 5k?!
