In Support of H.R. 3962
Below is a letter we sent yesterday to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the White House in support of H.R. 3962 – the Affordable Health Care for America Act. We also sent letters to members of the House.

We have created a resource to help prepare and guide patients from the point of diagnosis through the balance of life called The LIVESTRONG Guidebook.
The LIVESTRONG Guidebook addresses specific concerns that cancer survivors, loved ones and caregivers…

LIVESTRONG raised $1.3 million for the global fight against cancer at the one-time-only auction, It’s About the Bike, at Sotheby’s in New York, NY on Sunday, November 1st.

Empire State of Mind
We salute you, Team LIVESTRONG! Almost $850k raised and over 6500 total miles run in the NYC Marathon yesterday. It was the 40th year for this run from Staten Island to Central Park. We are so thankful to New York Road Runners for having us as a charity for this race and so thankful to the runners who take up the task of completing the mileage and the fundraising.
Can’t wait to take on NYC 2010!
Here are just a few pictures from Mile 18 where we hung out to cheer on runners! And then one of the staff that helped with…
