How does it feel to be up there on the podium with this gold medal?' And I kind of just wanted to tell them to leave me alone. "It's not just the fact that it's an epidemic; it's the details of some of the research that I do and finding the names that I want to run for and who I want to run for and dedicate it to. And it's those details of what happened to them that are in my head and, you know, it's creating a very dark environment for me."Embracing The Emotions
