Meet Steve Brown
Stephen Brown is a multi-sport, former semi-pro athlete, and iron distance triathlete from the Philadelphia area, who was diagnosed with CLL in 2006. He maintained his fitness during treatment by running home from his treatment sessions. Quickly reaching complete remission, he was back to racing triathlons that year, gaining the nickname “RemissionMan.”
Steve is a certified triathlon and running coach, as well as an accomplished writer whose work has been featured regularly in national fitness media and Philadelphia area TV. He has written several books which talk about everything from fitness and triathlon to his cancer diagnosis and his passion for living life to the fullest.
“I draw parallel lines between the challenges we face in sport and those we face in life and try to use my involvement in the multisport world as a tool to encourage people to break through barriers and understand that all things are possible.” -Stephen Brown
