Kenya’s steeplechase sensation Faith Cherotich has explained why she feels a gold medal could be coming to Kenya from the 2025 World Championships.
“I started therapy, like, two years ago because my boyfriend is big on therapy, and he felt as if I needed it, too,” Bromfield told Inside Lane in July 2024.
“It honestly has helped a lot because I feel as if I’ve been suffering with survivors’ guilt, and it was basically laying on my shoulders. Now, I’m like, ‘You know, I’ve got to live my life and just enjoy the moment of it because life is short.’”
