   It was so great seeing the other Team Livestrong members on the course yesterday. At around mile 23 I was really hurting and one of my team members
   tapped me on the shoulder and said let’s go, I really needed that boost. What a great day and amazing feeling crossing that finish line knowing all that Team Livestrong accomplished. Way to go Team Livestrong can’t wait to run another one for this great organization.

   Best,
   Meg

   Thank you to all of you at LIVEstrong for organizing such a great event. Training for and running my first marathon was a incredible journey, one I will cherish for a very long time. During the marathon, I ran up behind another woman on the LIVEstrong team, whose shirt said “5 year Breast Cancer Survivor” on the back. We exchanged a few encouraging words and parted ways. But her image stuck with me. She gave me a lot of hope for all those people out there fighting this terrible disease and she really made me realize the strength of the Lance Armstrong Foundation–how it truly inspires those with cancer to LIVE strong. I will continue to support this organization in whatever way I can and have encouraged all those who supported me this time to think of LAF in the future.
