Thriving at Every Mile: Running Marathons with Stage 4 Breast Cancer with Anne Keane (@adjewelry)

Anne Keane is a jewelry designer, a mom, and a woman who has been living with — and thriving through — stage 4 breast cancer. She is also a marathoner, chasing all six Abbott World Marathon Majors while raising money for Dana-Farber, the very institution that is part of her own cancer journey.In this conversation, Anne and I get into all of it. How running found her during the pandemic. What it feels like to train for Boston and Berlin while managing a stage 4 diagnosis. The mental discipline it takes to keep showing up when your body has its own agenda. How her work as a jewelry designer at Flock Boston connects to her work as a runner — both requiring patience, craft, and steady hands. Why she chose the word thriving instead of surviving. What it means to run for Dana-Farber. And what she wants the metastatic breast cancer community to know about what is still possible.Anne is the definition of at your own pace. This is a conversation about resilience, community, creativity, and choosing to live fully — one mile, one bead, one day at a time.If you have ever been told something hard and had to figure out what came next, this episode is for you.
