LiveSTRONG Challenge

I am personally a huge fan of Lance Armstrong and what he has accomplished as an athlete for himself, the sport of cycling and the fight against cancer. Today, the Lance Armstrong Foundation provides information and support for millions of cancer patients and survivors across the globe. Furthermore their goal is to unite people to pursue an agenda focused on prevention, access to screening and care, improvements of the quality of life of cancer survivors and investment in research. It is truly an extraordinary organization.

Each year they hold an event called the LIVESTRONG Challenge. The LIVESTRONG Challenge is the LAF's signature fundraising event. This series of walking, running and cycling events takes place in cities across the country, enabling anyone to support the LAF's mission to inspire and empower people affected by cancer. Choose your Challenge - walk, run, ride or volunteer; then choose your city: Portland, Austin or Philadelphia. You can become an individual LAF fundraiser or create a team of family, friends and/or co-workers. LAF will provide support through Challenge mentor programs, online Challenge tools and Challenge message boards where you can connect to fellow participants. If you can't participate, consider making a donation to an existing participant. Unite in the fight against cancer. Register today for the LIVESTRONG Challenge. Together we will make a difference. Check out the LAF website and educate yourself. See what you can do to help out, even if all you do is buy some merchandise, like some LIVESTRONG bracelets. Every little bit helps.
