Growing Bolder Community

Overcoming obstacles takes on new meaning at a special ski program in Park City, Utah. Growing Bolder contributor Wendy Chioji hits the slopes to see how instructors are helping turn CAN'T into CAN.

When news anchor Wendy Chioji was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001, her struggle was closely followed by thousands. Six years later, Wendy is a relentless fundraiser, inspirational spokesperson and fearless competitor.

After waging (and surviving) a very public battle against breast cancer, former TV anchor Wendy Chioji decided to start Growing Bolder in her own life. Find out how you too can learn to listen to what your heart is telling you.

This week's guests include the outrageous Cloris Leachman, four-time cancer survivor Linda Hill, 89-year-old author and veteran Franklin Hooper and we go Inside the Story with cancer survivor and triathlete Wendy Chioji.

At Growing Bolder, we say it's not about age; it's about attitude. And it takes attitude (plus a lot of chutzpah) to show this much skin! Find out why Growing Bolder reporter Wendy Chioji agreed to (swim)suit up for a calendar.

For 20 years, Wendy Chioji was one of the most popular and respected news anchors in one of the nation's largest media markets. She was single, attractive, well paid and talented. Then she was diagnosed with cancer.

Her battle with breast cancer enlightened all women; her determination to help others was only equaled by her dedication to becoming a world-class athlete.

We recently saw a huge spike in traffic. We quickly realized what everyone was watching: the behind-the-scenes footage of GB reporter Wendy Chioji's calendar photo shoot. We check in with the Internet's newest "it girl" to get her reaction.

Meet some famous faces who are using their own setbacks and obstacles in life to help the rest of us realize that your attitude can have a huge impact on your life and happiness.
