	Every Thursday morning at 7 a.m., a small group of women -- all from 
the same exercise class -- pound the pavement as they train for this 
Saturday's Labor Day WomenUs 4-miler. 

	Leading the pack is 51-year old Suzanne Hope, an aerobics instructor 
who volunteers her time, expertise and energy to teach these women the value 
of exercise in their fight against cancer. 

	The exercise class that the women belong to was started by a cancer 
patient with the help of Ms. Hope. The free class, which meets every Monday 
from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the U.Va. Cancer Center, is open to any woman who 
has ever been treated for cancer. 

	For more information, contact Diane Cole, education coordinator for 
the U.Va. Cancer Center at 924-8253 or Suzanne Hope at 972-2238.
