In this powerful episode of Fireside Chat, host Jason Bahamundi sits down with marathoner Anthony Targan, whose story is a testament to resilience. A multiple-time Boston Marathon qualifier, Anthony was on top of his game—until life threw him an unexpected challenge. Diagnosed with high-grade bladder cancer at 63, he faced an uphill battle that tested his endurance in ways running never had.
Anthony shares his journey from falling in love with running at 40 to experiencing the tragic 2013 Boston Marathon bombing firsthand. He takes us through his rigorous training, his inspiring qualifying for Boston in 2023, and how cancer changed his perspective on life and sport. Though sidelined from running Boston 2025 due to an autoimmune response, Anthony remains unstoppable—raising $10,000 for cancer research through the Dana Farber Marathon Challenge.
Join us as Anthony talks about the power of community, the intersection of running and personal growth, and why endurance isn’t just about crossing finish lines—it’s about showing up for life’s biggest challenges.
