Relaxing on the links
For John Atkinson, golf is relaxing.
As the winner of the first U.S. Open Contest, conducted by Golf Digest, the USGA and NBC Sports, John Atkinson got the chance to play Torrey Pines South Course in June 2008.
It was a chance of a lifetime.
Atkinson, an 8-handicapper, finds that his weekly round of golf is his way to relax, joke with his buddies and just enjoy himself.
On a chilly April morning last spring, John Atkinson, diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer a year earlier, prepared for the challenge of Torrey Pines and showed how he is “Living With Stage 4.”

Keeping the faith
Physical maintenance is a daily priority for cancer patients, but it's not the only thing that can help them beat the odds.
For many, tending to the soul is just as important.
John Atkinson is keeping the peace with his spirit.
