In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we talk to Kelly Moorman, a truly inspiring runner whose story is a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of the human spirit. Kelly shares how he first got into running and how his journey took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at just 12 years old. He opens up about the emotional and physical challenges he faced, including kidney failure at 41 and a life-changing kidney and pancreas transplant in 2011. Just as he began to rebuild his health, Kelly faced another battle — a cancer diagnosis that led to a major surgery known as the Whipple procedure. Through it all, he found strength in movement and in the mindset that kept him putting one foot in front of the other. After relocating to Florida in 2018, Kelly reconnected with the running community, completed his first official half marathon in 2023, and now has his sights set on new goals, possibly even a full marathon. In our conversation, he reflects on the role of running in his recovery, how local run clubs supported his journey, and the lessons he’s learned through adversity. Kelly also shares advice for others facing health setbacks and reminds us what resilience truly means. This episode is a powerful reminder that no matter what we face, there is always a path forward — and often, it starts with a single step.
