ESPN anchor Hannah Storm announces she is cancer-free, but will miss NYC Marathon coverage while recovering from surgery
Storm has co-hosted coverage of the NYC Marathon since 2013.
ESPN anchor Hannah Storm posted to her X account on Wednesday that she is cancer-free.
Storm's announcement on Wednesday also included that she recently underwent a hysterectomy. She is recovering from the procedure, which will keep her out of work a little longer and mean she will miss covering this weekend's New York City Marathon.
The ESPN anchor is known for her annual NYC Marathon coverage, which will air Sunday morning. Storm has co-hosted coverage of the event since 2013.
Two years ago, during an appearance on "Good Morning America," the SportsCenter anchor revealed that she had been diagnosed with DCIS breast cancer. Storm had previously said that she underwent a lumpectomy on Feb. 1 of that year.
In her statement, Storm shouts out marathon runners supporting great causes like the Hannah Storm Foundation. She founded the foundation in 2008 to raise awareness and fund treatment for children with vascular abnormalities. Storm herself was born with this condition.
Storm's philanthropy doesn't end there. She is also notably involved in advocacy for burn survivors, after she had second-degree burns in a propane grill accident in 2012.
These efforts largely led to her winning the 2025 Pat Summerall Award, making her the second woman to receive it. The Pat Summerall Award is given "to honor a national broadcaster or prominent sports personality who exemplified the characteristics Pat Summerall wanted the award to represent — an individual who has had an outstanding career and who has made a significant impact in their community."
Storm is expected to make a full recovery and ended her statement saying, "See y'all soon on SportsCenter."
