Born and raised in the vibrant community of Pensacola, Florida, Greg's life took an unexpected turn at the end of 2010 when he received a diagnosis of malignant brain cancer. What followed was an awe-inspiring journey of transformation and endurance. Before his diagnosis, Greg was never a runner. However, a little over a year into his new life, he decided to lace up his running shoes and take that first step. It was a monumental decision that would change the course of his life.

He defied the odds, using running as a source of empowerment and a means to confront adversity head-on. In his self-published book, Running Away From Cancer, Greg shares his deeply personal story of how running became his sanctuary, helping him navigate the darkest moments of life, including battles with cancer, heart issues, divorce, and the loss of loved ones. He believes that life's failures are stepping stones to improvement and emphasizes the importance of resilience in the face of tribulation. Greg's memoir is not only a reflection of his own journey but also a tribute to the enduring bonds he's formed with fellow runners. He recounts his adventures with running friends and the camaraderie that has been an integral part of his healing journey. Beyond the accolades and achievements, Greg's motivation to document his running journey is driven by a profound desire to inspire others. He envisions his story as a source of strength for his children, family, friends, and anyone seeking to overcome life's obstacles. Greg Schnoor's life story is a shining example of the indomitable human spirit. Through his experiences, he demonstrates that, regardless of the challenges life presents, one can always find the inner strength to keep moving forward.
