Bravo Valerie Harper for inspiring DWTS run

Valerie Harper may have been voted off of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars last night but her participation in the show was such an inspiration.

First of all, she’s 74 and that alone has got to be tough since the rigors of DWTS is tough even on far younger participants.

Then you figure in that just nine months ago, this remarkable woman was given a terminal brain cancer diagnosis and told she could have as little as three months to live.

She didn’t sit home and hide. She appeared on a slew of talk shows, did a guest spot on Hot in Cleveland with her pals from The Mary Tyler Moore Show and even filmed a TV movie.

Valerie has kept on living and her medical condition has improved – no doubt thanks in part to her remarkably positive attitude.
