The LIVESTRONG Challenge is the Lance Armstrong Foundation's signature fundraising event, raising funds and awareness for the fight against cancer. Founded in 1997 by cancer survivor and champion cyclist Lance Armstrong, the LAF unites people through programs and experiences to empower cancer survivors to live life on their own terms and to raise awareness and funds for the fight against cancer.

As many of you know, not only did I loose both of my parents to cancer but I am a cancer survivor myself having been diagnosed with melanoma in December 2006. This Challenge will combine my new found love of cycling with the desire to do something to help others who find themselves victims of cancer.

With an agenda focused on Prevention, Research, Access to Screening & Care, and Improvement in the Quality of Life for Cancer Survivors I believe that the LAF is the best way for me to do so. They are routine contributors to such Maryland based initiatives as the Active Survivors Network, the Ulman Cancer Fund, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Maryland.
