So far, Corpus Christi LIVESTRONG© Day Corpus Christi has been wonderful and completely inspiring. We started out our day at City Hall where Mayor Henry Garrett proclaimed May 13^th LIVESTRONG© Day in the city of Corpus. Army leaders, Rebecca and Robert accepted the proclamation and thanked the mayor and the council for their support of the local LIVESTRONG© Army, as well as their support of the over 12 million people affected by cancer.

We then joined Rebecca and Robert for lunch where they shared with us not only what they√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve been up to today (which includes- being up since…

I am at my second LIVESTRONG Day event in Florence, Alabama. Shannon Mcbride and her committee did an amazing job organizing a fun event with live music, balloons and LAF materials. They distributed over 200 wristbands and shared our mission with the local community. It was a blast to be a part of it.

Through both events in Birmingham and Florence, we were able to unite people in the fight against cancer.

Now, I am hitting the road to head back to Birmingham!

A Hope Chain was created in honor and memory of loved ones affected…

We left Boulder and headed south to Denver where Eric Miller had a truly unique event in progress. Eric, 2003 Tour of Hope rider and founder of the Rush-Miller Foundation that supplies tandem bikes to blind children, was once again on his bike. But this time he was attached to a crane and suspended 100 feet in the air for 24 hours! Did I mention it’s 38F and raining steadily?! But that doesn’t deter Eric as he does whatever it takes to show everyone how to LIVESTRONG every day of his life.
