About Me


Cali & Luc
I’m Lucian (Luc) Arie Isaak, and I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada, with my wife, Sheryl, in a quiet, no-dog, no-children household. In January 2025, I completed the Disney World Marathon. Just three months later, in April, I was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer at age 55—a never-smoker with the EGFR+ Exon 21 L858R mutation. For the past 21 years, I’ve worked as a software engineer at Electronic Arts. Until my diagnosis, I ran with the Vancouver Falcons Athletic Club (VFAC), completing 18 marathons, including all six majors.
