He Ran a Marathon After a Kidney Transplant | From Dialysis to 26.2: Mark Maselli


Listen Later

Mark Maselli was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease — the same disease that killed members of his family before 40.

Dialysis was waiting.

Instead, he chose something different.

After receiving a live kidney transplant, Mark trained for 450 miles… and ran the Las Vegas Marathon just one year later.

In this episode, we break down:

  • The truth about dialysis and kidney failure

  • Live organ donation vs deceased donor transplant

  • Training for a marathon after major surgery

  • Fighting excuses when your body says quit

  • Victim vs Victor mindset

  • How to build discipline when you’re tired

This isn’t just about kidney disease.
It’s about refusing to let your diagnosis define you.
