This is the fourth of our new AKTIV Against Cancer diaries series. In this video, the Shoe Addicts provide a view into the AKTIV Against Cancer Luncheon, celebrating Mary Wittenberg and her support of the sport of running and advancing opportunities for women in running.
The Shoe Addicts thank adidas for their support and encourage all to review the AKTIVagainstCancer.com website. AKTIV Against Cancer is the foundation begun by Helle Aanesen and the late Grete Waitz.
The goal of AKTIV Against Cancer is to show the relationship between excercise and cancer and to support cancer patients with fitness programs as part of their support.
Larry Eder has had a 52-year involvement in the sport of athletics. Larry has experienced the sport as an athlete, coach, magazine publisher, and now, journalist and blogger.

Of RunBlogRun, his daily pilgrimage with the sport, Larry says: "I have to admit, I love traveling to far away meets, writing about the sport I love, and the athletes I respect, for my readers at runblogrun.com, the most of anything I have ever done, except, maybe running itself." Also does some updates for BBC Sports at key events, which he truly enjoys.
