Tonight, a story about gratitude turning into action and an overriding desire to give back.

Mary Shurton Lieb has battled back from a dire form of cancer.

And she's also been battling the winter weather training for her first Boston Marathon.

She's raising money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a place she and her family say saved her life.

Anytime I run and I'm like, oh man, I just want to quit, I want to give up.

I'm like, you know what? I didn't quit. I didn't give up in the hospital. Five years ago, February 2013, Mary Shirton-Lebe received a devastating

diagnosis of leukemia. Immediately when the results came back, I was sent to the ER and they started

treatment within hours. Intense chemo took its toll, but it also worked. She and her

husband Rich, whose voice you may know from the Tudder and Rich show on the sports hub, went home

with their two little boys, Hank and Max. She had to stay inside because her immune system was so

weak. Then came that marathon Monday. The shirt

and leaps lived above the forum restaurant, sight of the second explosion. We grabbed the kids,

got her mask, forgot her medicine, and ran out of the building, and the whole time the goal was to keep my wife from getting sick and to keep the kids from seeing what they were seeing.

From there, she relapsed twice, had a stem cell transplant and eventually at Dana Farber.

They said this time we're going to like nuke you and like throw all these crazy things that we haven't tried before.

Are you game for doing that? And Rich and I just said, yeah, let's do whatever we can.

It worked. Today knock on some serious wood. Yeah, I'm great. I was feeling so good that that's what made me decide to run the marathon.
