The Beijing Olympics begin today.  Men & women from around the world will be competing in events from swimming to track and field.  While these well-trained athletes get ready to take their marks - in just another week or so - another group of well-trained athletes will literally be running for their lives - and ours.  They are taking part in a Team in Training half marathon in San Francisco - the Nike Women’s Half Marathon. 

What’s unique about these athletes - they are cancer survivors.   Now it’s time for the shameless plug.  Witih just a week left - Anita is still in need of some help to make her goal.  She’s about $1560 shy of her $7500 goal. 

Anita Lawson is a former resident of Rehoboth Beach and a former WGMD employee.  Please help in her Mission to wipe out blood cancer.  You can find out more about Anita and her run at - http://pages.teamintraining.org/sfl/nikesf08/alawson
