Inspirational Stories

There is a whole section devoted to inspirational stories in this year's Olympics. Several athletes have been diagnosed with Cancer and are still competing despites their recent health issues. The stories that I have read so far have all been swimmers - what a great group of athletes. One of the gold medalists - open water marathon - has leukemia, one of the US swimmers has testicular cancer - age 24! And one of the open water marathon swimmers from South Africa had her leg amputed after a motorcycle crash.

Unbelievable stories - go check them out:
