Though she's living with a brain tumor, Monika Allen is still running marathons, still planning, still living and still focused on experiencing life at its fullest

The pingpong-sized tumor in Monika Allen's brain is inoperable, yet she's hopeful doctors can keep it from growing -- or perhaps shrink it. Meanwhile, she continues to work, travel, run marathons and live the life she wants. My story on Allen for U-T San Diego's series called "Courage Through Cancer." http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2014/mar/17/allen-brain-tumor-marathoner/
