With Patriots’ Day and the Boston Marathon just around the corner, we are honored to share Michael Chase’s remarkable story of resilience, courage, and purpose. His journey is a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit and the ways adversity can be transformed into impact.
Michael Chase is a survivor of the Boston Marathon bombing, as well as a keynote speaker, author, and the President and Founder of the Reflective Journey Foundation. Through his work and his story, he continues to inspire others with a message of healing, perseverance, and hope.
This interview was produced by JMU Marketing students Elizabeth Dunlop, William Reeves, and Julianna Marino through our ongoing collaboration with Professor Brooke Rhodes’s Social Media Marketing class during the Fall 2025 semester.
As we approach a time of remembrance, we hope you will watch, reflect, and share Michael’s story — one that speaks to the strength of the human spirit and the power of moving forward with purpose.
