Perhaps you've heard the name Lance Armstrong lately? He has stopped pedaling long enough to accept his 5th victory in the Tour de France! After being diagnosed with cancer years ago, this famous cyclist started the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF). LAF exists to enhance the quality of life for those living with, through, and beyond cancer. Founded in 1997, the LAF seeks to promote the optimal physical, psychological, social recovery and care of cancer survivors and their loved ones. The LAF works to define, refine and improve services for cancer survivors and to facilitate the delivery of those services-with a large dose of hope-to patients, their families, and other loved ones touched by the disease.
