Review for LIVESTRONG Foundation, Austin, TX, USA
When I first heard the word "you have cancer" I thought it was a death wish. Then when I began to research my specific type on the web it only seemed to reconfirm the death wish. However the one shining light was the LIVESTRONG website. The positive message, the tools for survivors, and images and stories of survivors left me with the understanding that this was not a death wish and that it was time to fight. Happy to say I am over a year cancer free, I have been able to volunteer and just recently participated in LIVESTONG's great Challenge event, and loving life.

Viva Lance and LIVESTRONG.
