Karen Einsidler was leading what looked like a storybook life when she was diagnosed with cancer.

The mother of triplets was an attorney and active in the master athletes world when she underwent a double mastectomy.

Rather than quitting, she dove back into competitive swimming and bounced back to return to the World Masters Championships, where she captured a gold and four silvers.

Karen explained to Growing Bolder why giving up was never an option.
