Chicago Marathon: Cancer survivors

For twenty years, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training program has organized groups to condition runners for a marathon. The lavender shirts are common sites in all types of races, but especially 26.2 mile contests. I saw at least a hundred of them during Sunday's Bank of America Chicago Marathon.

On the left is a cancer survivor, on the right is a man who informs other entrants that he is "7 years cancer free."

God bless you both.
