#112 - From Cancer Survivor to Marathon Runner: Tom Starck’s INSPIRING Journey to a 2.46 and BEYOND! #run
🎙️ Gone Running | Episode #112
At just 12 years old, Tom Starck was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma — a moment that would change his life forever. In this powerful and uplifting conversation, Tom opens up to Gone Running host Ben Sheppard about his fight against cancer, the support that carried him through, and how a life-changing wish from Make-A-Wish helped him find purpose beyond survival.
Now a competitive marathon runner, Tom shares how running became his way of giving back, staying strong, and inspiring others. From gruelling treatments to crossing the finish line at the London Marathon in 2.46, his story is a testament to resilience and the belief that your past doesn’t define your future.
💬 Tune in to hear Tom’s reflections on:
* Beating cancer and reclaiming his health
* The life-changing impact of Make-A-Wish
* Why running is more than just a sport
* The power of coaching, mindset, and purpose
If you’re facing a challenge — or need a spark of motivation — Tom’s journey will remind you: **you’re stronger than you think.**Ben Sheppard - https://www.instagram.com/bensheppard93/
