As many of you know, Wendy Chioji is a good friend of most of the staff at GB.  This week she said goodbye to Central Florida, retiring from TV news and growing bolder in her efforts to open a cycling center in Park City, Utah.  Marc Middleton did a great GB story about Wendy's overall awesomeness.  The story mentions her victory over Breast Cancer, which was diagnosed 7 years ago.  The May 2001 morning of her surgery, a "Race for the Cure" event was held at Daytona International Speedway.  Some guy named Marc Middleton wrote an excellent e-mail that sort of guilt-tripped us into showing up at the crack of dawn to run/walk/stumble in Wendy's honor.  Some other guy named Jason decided to bring a camera so Wendy could see video of this event.  Few have ever seen this video, but I think it's a decent way to send Wendy off as she embarks on a new adventure.  As you may have just noticed, I'm a pretty lousy writer, so I'll just let my camera do the talking.
