FYI

One year ago, on April 7, we wrote about bodybuilder Susan Stone, a Mukilteo woman who wore a Wonder Woman suit around town at parades and birthday parties.

It gave her strength while she battled cancer.

Stone, 39, is feeling better and will compete Saturday in the Emerald Cup Fitness, Figure and Bodybuilding Competition in Bellevue.

“With continued treatments, I seem to be steadily improving,” Stone said. “I decided in January that it was time to get back to living.”
