About a year ago, during our LIVESTRONG Summit in Columbus, Ohio, I started thinking about returning to professional cycling.  I knew I could compete at the highest level of racing but this time I was motivated from a different perspective.

Meeting so many people over the years…so many survivors…has built in me an ever greater sense of urgency addressing the hurdles in cancer control and, ultimately, telling survivors’ stories.

Here at the LAF we are fortunate to have both individual supporters and great business partners. While many of you are aware of our great relationships with companies like Nike and Oakley, another great example is our friends at HomeAway, a company that specializes in great apartment vacation rentals, who have provided our staff and contest winners with free places to stay during the upcoming Tour de France.
