LIVESTRONG Fights to Improve the Lives of People Affected by Cancer
LIVESTRONG is a charitable organization providing support for people affected by cancer, founded in 1997 by cancer survivor and champion cyclist Lance Armstrong. LIVESTRONG’s mission is 'to inspire and empower' cancer sufferers and their families. They believe that "unity is strength, knowledge is power and attitude is everything.” LIVESTRONG also aims to provide practical information and tools for cancer sufferers in addition to its work in the fields of advocacy, public health and research. The organization is based in Austin, Texas.
LIVESTRONG looks at the experiences of the cancer community, finds problems and develops solutions. Since its inception, LIVESTRONG has raised $325 million dollars for the fight against cancer, and 81 percent of those funds have gone directly to support its programs and services for survivors.
