Harry Welch
Santa Margarita, Calif. football coach Harry Welch is battling prostate cancer and will undergo surgery for it during the upcoming football season. "The doctor said if we do the surgery now, I have a 90 percent chance of beating it," said Welch. "So we're probably looking at dealing with this real soon." Welch has undergone a heart procedure and four surgeries to repair vocal cords over the past four years, but still has not missed a game or seemed affected in any way by his recent medical history.

Caitlin DeVoll
In March of 2010, 16-year-old Caitlin DeVoll was diagnosed with brain cancer after five years of vision troubles and severe headaches. Recently, her 5-year-old nephew was diagnosed with leukemia, and as a result, DeVoll and her mother have committed to raising money to build a dream ranch for children suffering from cancer and other severe illnesses. "I can see it like it's right in front of me," said her mother Barb. "We've met so many families in such need. I think God is handling this one."

Margaret Anderson
At the age of 83, Margaret Anderson embarked on the 60-mile journey with the "Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure" walk. She was joined by her two nieces and grand niece, one of whom survived both breast and colon cancer. Anderson raised the second highest amount of money - $20,000 - by walking door-to-door. "The people were so nice, they just gave me more incentive to keep going," said Margaret. "I hope the day will come soon that they really find a cure for cancer. Every place I stopped and every family I stopped had some kind of cancer in the family."
