Boyd Dunleavy is a two times Blood Cancer Survivor. On one day in 2011 July, he suddenly started feeling unwell, and on further tests, he was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He underwent three cycles of chemotherapy as a part of the treatment. He also required a stem cell donor. He had a lot of support from his community financially and spiritually. Finally, he recovered. In February 2012, he started feeling unwell again, and cancer relapsed. He cried for three days. He is a true believer in God. One fine day he started feeling very sick, and he was almost on the verge of his death. On that day, he saw a miracle. He saw Jesus. Believe it or not, everything seemed apparent when the doctors did Biopsy the next day. One of his friends said he would like to run a marathon to raise cancer funds for Boyd. It was a life turning moment for him. He got motivated, and he started running. He had run for 30 km, Disney marathon and still running happily along with his family and friends on the side.
