Tim Harner's Leukemia Journey: From Pain & Sickness to Triumphant Boston Marathon Finish
Mar 07, 2021 Season 1 Episode 7
Rick Martin

This week’s guest is Tim Harner.  Tim was aware that cancer ran in his family, but at age 29, receiving a diagnosis of leukemia turned his world upside down.  

In our interview, Tim first provides some background information about leukemia. He then tells about his journey from constant pain and sickness from chemotherapy to a triumphant finish at the Boston Marathon.   Tim is a great storyteller.  I think you’re going to enjoy his emotional story of overcoming great odds.  

I’ve included several links below that Tim recommended.  If you have a few spare minutes, I recommend watching the two Youtube videos Tim suggested.  They are excellent speeches given by two inspiring men battling cancer when they gave their speeches: basketball coach Jim Valvano and ESPN reporter Stuart Scott. 

As always, I appreciate your thoughts and feedback about the show. You can reach out to me on email, Facebook, or Instagram.   Links are listed below.
