(KUTV) Last year, Signe Gines set out on a "Hike for Healing" in the name of cancer awareness.
But just weeks away from finishing her journey on the Pacific Crest Trail, Gines broke her hip.
The Pacific Crest Trail is 2,650 miles long, and extends from the Canadian Border in Washington, travels through Oregon, down into California, and eventually ends at the Mexico boarder near San Diego.
"So rewarding and fulfilling," Gines said of her epic hike.
Gines, 54, battled lymphoma in 2015, and decided to set out on the Hike for Healing while her cancer was in remission. She left on July 14th of last year, and was supposed to finish on November 8th.
But just three weeks from the finish line, she got a very sharp pain in her left leg.
