Maarten vander Weijden is an overcomer, for sure.<BR/><BR/>And it is lesser known stories like this one you mentioned, that we hardly ever hear about.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for commenting.PaulsHealthBlog.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03443012393151401891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29649377.post-2796548195206830312008-08-26T16:57:00.000-05:002008-08-26T16:57:00.000-05:00talking about swimming ... how about the gold medal on the 10K marathon for Dutch Maarten vander Weijden, after a stemcell transplant 7 years ago, surviving cancer.<BR/><BR/>Thought that was pretty pretty inspirational and very impressive :DMirjamhttp://memyselfandiblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29649377.post-21898777521945855042008-08-26T09:38:00.000-05:002008-08-26T09:38:00.000-05:00Yes, we pretty much kept the televisions on the Olympics the entire time, except for the mornings when our little man, Brady, wanted to watch SpongeBob!<BR/><BR/>Since I swam on a summer league team growing up, I love the swimming events.
