We revisit this blog, and very worthwhile discussion concerning a seeming ?mission creep? to add a little context:
The present devastation after the earthquake in Haiti is unprecedented in modern western civilisation, effectively LiveSTRONG?s response ? albeit a spark in monetary terms ? has ignited a flaming path to the boardrooms of corporate America, if not to our doors, and demonstrating clearly how imperative it is we defend the very existence of this friendly nation and its people.
With the resources of RadioShack (market cap. $2.6B), and voices like friend-of-the-foundation Sanjay Gupta M.D, behind Lance?s call; we must not see this as one man?s battle against fate and act in tandem to do what we can to help survivors, wherever they may be.
Put your doubts aside, for instance as from representations made personally by Lance at the first-ever LiveSTRONG Global Cancer Summit in Dublin; yesterday, the Irish Minister for Health reversed her decision to retrench care and announced the immediate commencement of a national cervical cancer immunisation programme along with additional funding for preparatory work to roll-out a colorectal cancer screening programme.
Lance leads the way in the fight vs. Cancer, and having met him myself, perhaps like anyone who heads a nation or corporate organisation, you?re left saying: ?I can do what he wants me to do; I am forced to see and acknowledge that: LIVESTRONG.?
