Join me

January 19th, 2007 by Lance Armstrong

With every minute of 2006 two Americans were diagnosed with cancer and one died. Think about that! That is like re-living the horror of 9/11 every two days for the entire year.

As a nation we have become too complacent about this disease (last year, for the first time in 35 years, governmental funding for cancer decreased) and that can no longer be tolerated.

It is time for us as a nation to rise up and beat this disease. As Chairman of the Lance Armstrong Foundation I will fight to make cancer a national priority. This is my new Tour de France, but I can not do this alone: I NEED YOU, YOUR LOVED ONES AND FRIENDS TO JOIN ME.

Take a look at a video we shot in Iowa and if you like what we have to say…JOIN ME IN THIS FIGHT!

LIVESTRONG,
Lance
