cancer

I'm never one to shy away from a physical challenge. I've completed seven running marathons, an 87 mile inline race, countless inline marathons, a triathlon (even though I still can't swim), and many more challenging races. Today though, I am training to participate in a 100 mile "Century" bike ride called "America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride" as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. Many of my other races have been rewarding but there is an extra incentive with this one as I'll be racing for a cause.

The National Enquirer is reporting that Patrick Swayze, who starred in movies like "The Outsiders," "Ghost," "Road House "and (my all-time favorite) "Dirty Dancing," is losing a battle with pancreatic cancer.
