Here at the LAF we are fortunate to have both individual supporters and great business partners. While many of you are aware of our great relationships with companies like Nike and Oakley, another great example is our friends at HomeAway, a company that specializes in great apartment vacation rentals, who have provided our staff and contest winners with free places to stay during the upcoming Tour de France. In fact, HomeAway.com?s worldwide reach helped us out in the Giro d?Italia, too. While in Rome for the finale of the Giro, they provided us with a vacation rental to stay in which overlooked the Coliseum

You can stay in this property or another one on their site for free by entering their Save Our Summer Vacation contest. The winner gets a $10,000 trip and two runner-ups get $5,000 trips just for explaining why you need a vacation. They?re also petitioning Congress for a National Vacation Day.
So many thanks to HomeAway for helping us keep our expenses low as we travel for the global campaign! And for those of you wanting to keep up with the Tour happenings, be sure to follow along as Lance and LAF staffer Chris Brewer talk all things Tour at http://www.livestrong.com/lance-armstrong – it?s almost time to ride.
