Long live Livestrong.

Great to be part of the TEAM Linda

Hopefully Lance will urge US representatives to ratify the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. A 10% reduction in tobacco consumption world wide would prevent 30 million cancer deaths over the next generation. It is shameful that the US has not joined with the 174 countries that have already ratified the FCTC.

Dear Heidi Adams, Thanks for what you and Livestrong does. I would like to ask how we can help and how our leaders address the causes of these illnesses? I feel that most of the research is done for the treatment of cancer. Now don’t get me wrong treatment is great but what is being done to reduce the causes? I feel that people are endangered everyday just by breathing in the toxic particulate matter that surrounds us daily. I live in Davenport, Florida and we have organized a committee to stop a Non-Phosphate Mine/Soil Cement Plant in our backyards and I mean literally within 200’ for our properties. This mine will be removing 2.5 million cubic yards of soil/silica sand and mixing these soils with Portland Cement. My concerns are that this site is sandwiched between to residential communities to the east & west and to the north & south are wetlands, flood plains, horseshoe creek, a 42 acre preservation area and many nature wildlife habitats. The mound of “unique soils” as the applicant calls it, is actually part of the Lake Wales Ridge and is a major component in the Florida Fresh Water Aquifer. I believe many of the illnesses that affect some many people are caused by our environment and the poor decisions made by our local officials. This mining operation has been approved by our Polk County Commissioners with a 4-1 vote. Our committee has raised the monies needed to appeal the commissioners’ decision but I would like to ask if you or your staff could possibly give us your input, views, suggestion, etc. to help us stop this operation from moving forward. These communities have residents that already deal with many different illnesses. There are children, families, and seniors not to forget the native wildlife that will be impacted. The silica sand alone will cause cancer in many of our lives but probably not for 10 or 20 years by than these companies will have made their money and be long gone. Leaving us to suffer and pay the price with our lives. Can you PLEASE HELP US with your education, input and suggestions in how we can stop these cancer causes operations from developing in citizens backyards. I truly believe this will reduce the causes of many illnesses. Any advice at all will be great appreciated. Thanks and May God Bless Us All!!!!

well done any future support you need count on us

Quando as massas se unem, tudo é possível… Imagens que inundam NY durante a Cimeira ONU sobre doenças não transmissíveis. Os outdoors mostram, em mosaico, os rostos de milhares de pessoas de todo o mundo, que se juntaram à campanha.

My husband, who was a triathelete, died just after his 50th birthday from lymphoma. He was diagnosed in March of 2007. Initially, we were told that non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma was not considered a “scary” cancer anywore. That it probably wouldn’t even alter his life span. It altered all of our lives. He braved through multiple chemotherapies (even rollerblading to some at the beginning), a stem cell transplant, and a disasterous trip to MD Anderson. A facility that we were led to believe was the be all and end all of cancer research.
Chemotherapy leaves the body in such a reduced state that it cannot heal itself. I call out for more research into building up and sustaining the body”s strength during the onslaught of this so called cure. God Bless you Lance for the work you are doing to get this show on the road. My Mac was a big, big fan. You helped him to ride thisdifficult journey. My son and I wear livestrong bracelets and more. Sincerely, KT McCammond

Endless thanks to Lance Armstrong for continuing to highlight the crisis in cancer and being a voice for those who have none.

I recently lost my beautiful beautiful Rachael (25year old) to Hodgkins lymphoma after an 8year battle. im so sad, miss her so much. We have to do something,all of us to find out why this disease is taking beautiful people like Rachael. Too young too soon too beautiful.

I have been living with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or CLL for 12 years. I’ve never been treated. This type of cancer is a more “watch & Wait” approach to try and deal with this cancer of the white blood cells.
Thankfully I have been able to survive 12 years without being treated with chemo. There is a new wave of understanding of in the treatment of cancer. Genetically engineering ones own body chemistry to battle the cancer. This is done by going down to the cell level and making smart bombs(I know’ a bit scarey sounding, but good) to wipeout the cancer in ones body. There is more work to do to make this a more common way of dealing with cancer but this is the way to not have to use just chemo to kill the cancer.
Thanks to Lance, Livestrong and all our supporters this is the type of thinking that will help all of us to to make the word “CANCER” a word of the past.

This is great….now is our turn here in Aruba this comming sunday we will do the ride with the Roses..to support Lance Armstrong….and all the cancer suporters from the Caribean and all over the World. We have a Small Island with a lot of surviverers and supporters…..we watch U close and try to do our best

I am honored to be a part of this cause. Being a cancer survivor myself, Lance was a huge influence in my determination to LIVESTRONG. Many thanks to Lance and LIVESTRONG for the great work in bringing cancer awareness to the world.

Un honor participar en una causa tan noble y con un gran equipo…Gracias por invitarme!

It’s great to see the gathering of world leaders at the UN. Cancer is ravaging the world, rich and poor people, educated and illiterate are dying; children are not spared. Nigeria, a country richly endowed by God but suffering from endemic corruption and rapacious greed continues to lose precious lives of her people to cancer that is preventable through proper hygiene, efficient public health care system and good infrastructure for quality life and wellness. Africa and Nigeria in particular needs urgent, wholesome intervention, lest corruption, cancer and malaria destroys her.

Thanks LIVESTRONG – you are the voice of millions of people!! Keep up the good work, we are behind you all the way!

Jest to na pewno jeden ze sposobów na zwrócenie uwagi ze problem raka jest problemem ogólno?wiatowym ale nale?y szczególnie zwróci? uwag? na kraje biedne, ma?o rozwini?te gdzie walka z ta straszna choroba jest koszmarem dla ludzi spotykaj?cych si? z murem administracyjnym. Brakiem dost?pu do lekarzy, diagnostyki, profesjonalnego leczenia i wsparcia instytucji do tego powo?anych. Dlatego inicjatywa LIVESTRONG ma dla nas chorych na raka ogromne znaczenie. Z wielkim zapa?em organizuje 2 Pa?dziernika LIVESTRONGDAY aby w?a?nie w ma?ych miasteczkach u?wiadomi? ludziom ze przynale?no?? do wspania?ych twórców fundacji Lance Armstronga LIVESTRONG daje sile w pokonywaniu bezsilno?ci i wiar? w pokonanie raka. W krajach Europy ?rodkowo-wschodniej potrzebna jest nam bardzo taka organizacja jak LIVESTRONG mam jednak pro?b? aby zmodyfikowa? form? wp?at na konto fundacji. Forma kart kredytowych nie jest powszechna stad k?opot z wp?atami.
