Rob Zaleski: Cancer at bay, UW team doc makes the run

At 11 this morning, the 39-year-old orthopedic surgeon — one of two physicians who travel with the University of Wisconsin-Madison football team — will be on the sidelines at Ohio Stadium for the Badgers’ much-anticipated showdown with unbeaten Ohio State.

And Sunday morning, he will be among some 38,000 runners competing in the New York City Marathon.

….He’s also using the race to raise money for the UW’s Carbone Comprehensive Cancer Center and had already exceeded his goal of $26,200 — or $1,000 per mile — by last week.
