The Lance Armstrong Foundation, LAF, is launching a campaign to raise awareness of cancer issues and advocate
for supportive positive change in the lives of cancer survivors by making May 17 LIVESTRONG
Day. Armstrong is asking everyone who is interested to take part in the day's events to bring a sharp focus and
attention to cancer. According to the LIVESTRONG webpage regarding observance of the day, two participants from each
state have been selected to go to Washington, D.C. where they will meet with their elected officials, participate in
interactive advocacy presentations and listen to guest speakers discuss how to make an impact on Capitol Hill and in
their own communities. For local activities, LAF has published a list of event ideas, and welcomes you to submit an event idea of your own. "It's time for our nation to address our issues. Together, we can help change things for the better. As a team, we can make a difference for survivors," states Lance Armstrong. Check it out.
