But Denoja has taken those challenges and made sunshine with them. She has an indelible presence in the running community: in person in Toronto and Scarborough, on Instagram and as an ambassador for Brooks Running. Despite things not always being perfect, Denoja is committed to using her personal story to inspire others and show that everyone can be active and healthy within their abilities and find a way to live a positive life.
