The Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) believes that in your battle with cancer, knowledge is power and attitude is everything. From the moment of diagnosis, we provide the practical information and tools you need to live strong. Founded in 1997 by cancer survivor and 7-time Tour de France champion cyclist Lance Armstrong, the Lance Armstrong Foundation seeks to promote the optimal physical, psychological, and social recovery and care of cancer survivors. In the United States alone it is estimated that there are more than 10 million cancer survivors, and it is estimated half of those diagnosed this year will live their normal life span. In 2005, it is estimated that more than 1.2 million new cancer cases were diagnosed. More than one out of every three Americans will eventually have cancer - that's one in every two men and one in every three women. The odds of cancer affecting you or a loved one are not that improbable.
LAF is working to identify and improve cancer survivor services and facilitate the delivery of those services—and a large dose of hope—to the patients, their families, and other loved ones touched by the disease. The money you donate will help LAF continue to aid those affected by cancer through programs, advocacy, research and survivorship support.
