Surviving Cancer Marathon is a powerful memoir that will inspire anyone facing adversity to find hope and purpose in the fight for survival. 


In this heartfelt and deeply moving story, Dana—once an elite marathon runner—receives a life-altering diagnosis of stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive cancer. 


With no time to waste, he turns to the strategies he knows best: setting goals, building resilience, and assembling a team that can help him face the toughest “race” of his life.


Through his personal journey, Dana offers readers practical advice, emotional insight, and a blueprint for survival.
