Season 36 contestant Bizzy Smith, 37, who competed on The Amazing Race with her friend Sunny Pulver, recently shared a life-changing experience that unfolded during her time on the show. A routine physical exam required for all contestants revealed lumps in Bizzy's breast, leading to an early diagnosis of breast cancer. She credits The Amazing Race for potentially saving her life, as she may not have undergone a physical otherwise.
Following the show's filming, Bizzy received the official diagnosis of breast cancer. She underwent a double mastectomy and is now cancer-free. Using her platform, she aims to raise awareness about breast cancer in younger women, emphasizing the importance of early detection.
Despite facing challenges with navigation during the competition, Bizzy and Sunny maintained a positive attitude and supported each other throughout. They expressed interest in participating in an all-stars season of The Amazing Race, with Bizzy having overcome breast cancer and taking navigation classes to improve their skills.
Reflecting on their journey, Bizzy and Sunny highlighted their camaraderie and resilience in the face of obstacles. They expressed pride in the way they handled the competition with grace and humor, earning them recognition as fan favorites.
