| Planet Cancer at Ride for the Roses |
|
| Kyle Steuck is a three-time Stage IV Hodgkin's survivor. Thanks to a certain Planet Cancer twist of fate, he was able to ride in the 2005 Lance Armstrong Foundation Ride for the Roses as a VIP yellow jersey team member. In the process, he realized that this 70-mile journey was really more about everything he had experienced in the last 4.5 years. To read Kyle's journal of the weekend, visit www.kylesurvived.blogspot.com/2005/10/intro.html. |

| Marathon Man |
|
| Dean Blaine beat a spinal cord tumor. Then he ran a marthon. Guess which one was his choice?
Dean Blaine, chairman of the board of Austin Candlelighters, proudly sports a Planet Cancer cap in Austin's Motorola Marathon. Dean says that, once you beat a spinal cord tumor, marathons are a piece of cake. (Or perhaps the previously mentioned spinal cord tumor is why Dean chooses to do insane things now like run marathons?) |

| World Record Survivor's Jump |
|
| The largest ever group of cancer survivors to jump out of an airplane included people from nine states and four countries, who had beaten 15 types of cancer. From the Austin American Statesman, July 19, 2002: “For three seconds, people from four countries and nine states, who have beaten 15 kinds of cancer, locked together thousands of feet above Central Texas to earn a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. . .[Jump organizer Tony] Albano said setting the record?which previously didn't exist?is secondary to what the group is really accomplishing. ?The real story is we're survivors,' he said.”
Ed. note: Pretty damn cool. |
