Livestrong Presidential Cancer Forum


I failed to note the event earlier, however it remains an important and relevant part of political discourse...the Livestrong Presidential Cancer Forum took place this week in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, with a host of Democratic and Republican Presidential hopefuls discussing their views, experiences, and ultimately their proposed solutions for Cancer. Many of the proposals were predictably vague, however the idea of making the debate more public and helping raise additional awareness is a good one and working with policy makers, particularly the possible next leader of the free-world, is a great start.



The Lance Armstrong Foundation continues to work hard to raise awareness, raise money for cures, and bring a level of pride and comfort to those struggling with cancer, their families and loved ones. I admire the work he has done to turn his own struggle into a public crusade and the effort he has spent to help improve the situation. I hope to be able to participate in LAF events in the future and look forward to seeing the foundations continuing progress.
