Cancer Survivor, Marathoner Teri Griege to Appear on 'Today Show'
The Creve Coeur woman who has qualified for "ironman" competitions will tell her story to Hoda and Kathy Lee this morning.

The broadcast is scheduled to appear at about 11 a.m., according to Griege's website, where she says she's scheduled to discuss "colon cancer and Colon Cancer Awareness Month as well as her work with the Colon Cancer Alliance."
The Today Show airs on KSDK-Ch. 5.
