KC-area woman uses exercise to help beat cancer
Thursday, March 27, 2003
According to a KCStar article, Mary Lou Haeger of Lenexa was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987.
"After therapy and radiation treatments, I realized I needed to change my lifestyle. I needed a better diet and more exercise, real exercise. I threw myself into running, working with weights and aerobics. It helped me as much mentally as physically," said Haeger, who lives in Lenexa. . . .

Haeger's determination to maintain a healthy lifestyle through exercise didn't go unnoticed.

Last month she received the Courage Award presented annually by the Women's Intersport Network for Kansas City.

Haeger's role model is cyclist Lance Armstrong, who came back from devastating bout with testicular cancer to win the Tour de France in four times (so far!).
