Welcome to Running with Hope, the podcast where we explore resilience, purpose, and hope in the face of life’s toughest challenges. I’m Dana, a lifelong marathon runner, cancer survivor, and believer in the power of endurance. Today, I want to take you on a journey—a journey of running, of fighting, and of proving that impossible is just a word.

On September 8, 2024, I stood at the starting line of the Georgina Marathon. Not just as a runner, but as a stage 4 cancer patient. Some might have thought my racing days were over. But to me, running is about hope. And hope is a force that cancer cannot take away.

What if I told you that hope is the most powerful fuel for endurance? That even in the darkest moments, it can carry you farther than you ever imagined?"

"I’m Dana—marathon runner, cancer survivor, and host of Running with Hope. This isn’t just a podcast about running. It’s about resilience. It’s about pushing forward when the world tells you to stop. It’s about proving that the impossible… is just a mindset."
