Make Your Mark. Chalkbot is Back

24 Comments

Along with launching the Nike LIVESTRONG Collection globally last week, our partners at Nike have been hard at work bringing back one of last year?s favorite visitors to the Tour de France.

The Chalkbot makes it easy for you to be part of the Tour ? sending your message of hope and inspiration to the 28 million people around the world fighting cancer today. Chalkbot follows the great cycling tradition of writing inspirational messages along the course for riders to see.

You can submit your Chalkbot message online at www.livestrong.org/chalkbot or via the LIVESTRONG Facebook Page. Once you submit your message, you?ll get an email confirmation letting you know that your message was received and then you?ll be prompted to share your message with your friends on Twitter and Facebook. New this year, you?ll have the opportunity to create and purchase a customizable NikeID Chalkbot t-shirt with your personal message.

If your Chalkbot message is selected and printed on the route of the Tour, you?ll receive an email with GPS coordinates providing the location where your message was inscribed.

Together with Nike, we?re using the road as a canvas to inspire and empower people affected by cancer. Go online, write your message and be part of the fight.

    I posted a message but do not get a confirmation email…my friends do not get confirmation emails either. Is there a problem? I really hope my message is received and maybe published by the Chalkbot…

      It takes about a day to get a confirmation email. If your message is printed you will get another email and the photo. Thanks so much!

    Go Lance for my friend George Mullin who has just found out he has pancreatic cancer. Other than the father I had, my second choice would have been this man. Wonderful & kind person. Fight hard George.

    Thanks to LiveSTRONG, and NIKE, for making it “OK” to be public about Cancer, our hopes for our families and loved ones. My sister is fighting stage 4, so this is for her and all 28million cancer survivors.

    Just wondering if there is a way to get a photo of the printed message – I received my GPS coordinates from Nike and I see that you can get a shirt – but wondering if they are offering photos?

  • Marissa

    I Livestrong for my dad – twice time Cancer Survivor (Lymphoma and Colon); and for my grandmother who succumbed to Stomach Cancer. Been wearing my Livestrong band since my dad got his initial diagnosis on 2005. Thanks for being an inspiration to millions Lance.

    Does anyone know how to find out who left a message? The wife of a recent cancer victim heard of a message on the roads “In Memory of Lon Mitchell. It was in a TV shot in Stage 16 with 76.5km to go in the race. She would like to contact them for a copy of the road photo. LAF? Nike?

    No Chalkbot in the 2011 Tour de France?

    • http://livestrong.org Brooke McMillan (LIVESTRONG Staff)

      Unfortunately no. That was a fantastic campaign though. Here is a link to several photos from the previous years. Enjoy!

    Why was the Chalkbot not in the tour this year? The web page where you can submit messages is still up and many of us from our running team submitted messages and kept waiting and watching the tour.

    • http://livestrong.org Brooke McMillan (LIVESTRONG Staff)

      Nike decided not to run the chalk bot this year. It was a great campaign the last two years though. We appreciate all their support.
