Our guest for Episode 62 of the podcast is Harry Lorusso. Harry is an outlier. I know what you’re thinking…what’s an outlier?
Merriam-Webster defines an outlier this way: a person, thing, or fact that is very different from other people, things, or facts, so that it cannot be used to draw general conclusions.
Harry is an athlete. He ran in the Ultra Race of Champions, April 29th…finishing as the 7th overall in the mens division. Then Harry followed that up May 1st by running and finishing the Pittsburgh Marathon…his first ever.
But this isn’t what makes Harry an outlier…
Harry is an outlier because, he did these things despite March 22, 2019. That’s the day he was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, an incurable brain cancer. GBM as it’s known, is a fast-growing and aggressive brain tumor. The prognosis with this disease is generally not good.
Harry is, among other things, the founder of The Outlier Fund. Now that his treatment is finished, he has created a platform to show others impacted by GBM that despite the grim statistics…there is hope.
Harry is not only surviving with GBM, he’s thriving. His message resonates with many of us whose lives have been touched by cancer. But the most important takeaway from our conversation is that whatever adversity you’re facing…you too can be an outlier.
Harry embodies the Five Pillars of Live. Love. Learn. Pray. Inspire. It’s an honor to know him and support his journey.
