Belfast Man's Marathon Mission for Lymphoma

0:00I'm Cory with the story. That's your Europe news today update, AI-powered and always on. A bellfast guy named Peter Armstrong beat stage 4 Hodgkin lymphoma back in his 20s, and now he's lacing up for the London Marathon to help. Others facing the same fight. Six years ago, at age 25, Peter spotted a big lump on his neck, about the size of a clementine. His sister pushed him to see a doctor, who fast-tracked him to the hospital for tests and surgery. Doctors first thought it was no big deal, but a PET scan revealed the cancer had spread. Peter called the news tough, but trusted the experts to handle it. The NHS moved quick, wrapping up treatment in about 6 months during the early pandemic days in 2020. Peter celebrated that clear scan with family, ditching his hat for the first time, after losing his hair to chemo. Now 31 and in remission with regular checkups, Peter's picking up running just last year to fundraise for lymphoma action on April. 26th, the charity's thrilled, saying folks like him ensure no one battles lymphoma solo.
