Tom Tracy, Eagle, 56, joined the Leukemia &
Lymphoma Society's Team In Training as a volunteer last year after he was
diagnosed with a rare form of non-hodgkin's lymphoma.
This year, Tracy will help raise money for the
society as a particiant in his first 100-mile bike ride, America's Most
Beautiful Bike Ride, in June. A recent bone marrow biopsy revealed no
further evidence of cancer, and Tracy is eager to begin training. His goal
is to raise $4,000. Idaho Statesman, Thursday, January 11, 2007
