[Fredslist] Livestrong Day - May 17th

[Adrian Miller]

Hi,

This is especially relevant in light of the recent passing of a 
fellow Gotham member Phil Courtney.

Best,
Adrian

>     On May 17th the Lance Armstrong Foundation will celebrate
>"Livestrong Day."  The Foundation believes that "in the battle with
>cancer, unity is strength, knowledge is power, and attitude is
>everything."  Its mission is "to inspire and empower people with cancer
>to live strong."
>     Cancer does not only affect the survivor (survivorship begins with
>diagnosis), but family members and friends as well, and therefore the
>need is great to make conquering the disease a national priority.  There
>are many issues survivors face including ones of uncertainty, stress,
>body image, and mood swings.  It is organizations such as the Lance
>Armstrong Foundation that assist and encourage survivors to "live
>strong."  Cancer survivors need to know that a support group is not just
>there for them at the beginning of their survivorship, but throughout
>their treatment and into remission, for always lurking in the background
>is the fear of recurrence.
>     If you have been touched or know anyone who has been affected by
>cancer, you can contact your representatives in Congress and ask them to
>provide more funding for cancer research that will find cures for
>different cancers, and raise awareness about health policy issues facing
>survivors.
>     On May 17th, I encourage everyone who has been touched by cancer,
>whether it be as a cancer survivor, friend, or family member to wear the
>yellow Livestrong bracelet or any yellow article of clothing to
>demonstrate support, awareness, and the desire to conquer cancer.
>                                       PLEASE FORWARD TO OTHERS
