Description
Tony Handler isn't supposed to be here.
Twenty-five years ago, he was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer and given two years to live. That same year, he completed his first triathlon.
After that, the cancer attacked his liver, prostate and thyroid glands but he's beat them all back.
He explained to Growing Bolder why he keeps pushing the limits of his body even while he's fighting to stay alive.
His story will inspire you to keep on fighting, no matter what life throws your way.
