Dutch Cancer Survivor Wins Gold!

Wow. The Olympics are inspiring…and it just got even more inspiring with the men's marathon swimming event:

Dutchman Maarten van der Weijden, given only a slim chance of survival when diagnosed with leukemia seven years ago, won the 10km swim, one of the most testing Olympic events. A stem cell transplant and chemotherapy saved van der Weijden's life. "That makes it extra special," he said. "It proves that even after such an illness you can win gold."

Cures rock!
