Episode Notes
It all started with a devastating diagnosis in the fall of 2020. Multiple chemo treatments, a stem cell transplant and many marathon finish lines later, Peter joins NYRR CEO Rob Simmelkjaer for a special LIVE taping of 850 Million Reasons to Run.
Rob and Peter dive into the “memento mori” moment that reframed the meaning of Peter's life, turning a business leader into a global philanthropist with one singular quest- to turn his new found love of running into a global movement to empower life-saving medical research.
