For a serious distance runner, 7 hours, 48 minutes is not a great marathon time. But cut Brian Fugere some slack.
He’d been diagnosed with synovial sarcoma — a rare soft-tissue cancer — in his lung. He was in his fourth cycle of chemotherapy. And he was dragging an IV pole for all 26.2 miles.
Oh, and this marathon was taking place in a hospital hallway.

What’s you excuse for not doing something?
