Quick Thoughts

- On Friday, I sat down with Ted Koppel to tape an interview that will be part of a Discovery Channel special on the state of cancer. The interview will be part of 3 hours of dedicated programming (airing April 29th) on Discovery. I will also be a part of a ive Town Hall segment from Discovery HQ that night, moderated by Ted Koppel.

- I also did an interview with the USA Today over the weekend. The article, in today’s paper, gave me an opportunity to talk about how and why the LIVESTRONG Army and I are banding together to make cancer a national priority.

- I recently have been turned on to a blog written by Leroy Sievers (who is featured in the Discovery programming). Leroy is a journalist who was first diagnosed with colon cancer five years ago. Last December, the cancer returned in the form of a brain tumor, which was successfully removed with surgery.

- Check out ragbrai.org for a video I shot talking about my involvement last year as well as my announcement to return this year. Ragbrai, a bike ride across Iowa, is not only one of the coolest things I have ever been a part of, but also gives the LIVESTRONG Army a unique opportunity to bring our message about making cancer a national priority to the people of Iowa. Iowa will play a large role in putting early pressure on presidential candidates to discuss cancer.

LIVESTRONG,
Lance
