Seven for Survivors
The Lance Armstrong Foundation has kicked off their “Seven for Survivors” program. It is built around the number 7: Lance’s bid for Tour de France victory number 7, a 7 million dollar goal for the 2005 Ride for the Roses, 7 facts about cancer, 7 things the LAF does to help people living with cancer, and 7 stories about people living with cancer. I am one of those people:
Rob Sartin, father of a leukemia survivor and volunteer: My father passed away from multiple myeloma, my mother is a breast cancer survivor and my mother-in-law passed away from breast cancer. Then, while I was at an LAF event last year, my son came down with a fever. One week later, he was diagnosed with leukemia. I have received so much support from so many people, and the onlyway for me to really pay that back is to help other people. Every day that I volunteer, I am giving back to the cancer community.
Download the 7 for Survivors Fact Sheet and be sure to visit the Lance Armstrong Foundation for more information.
Live Strong.
