ABOUT THE LANCE ARMSTRONG FOUNDATION
The Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) unites people to fight cancer, believing that unity is strength, knowledge is power and attitude is everything. We provide the practical information and tools people battling cancer need to live life on their own terms. We take aim at the gap between what is known and what is done to prevent death and suffering due to cancer. We engage the public at large to pursue an agenda focused on preventing cancer, ensuring access to screening and care, improving the quality of life for people affected by cancer, and investing in needed research. Founded in 1997 by cancer survivor and champion cyclist Lance Armstrong, the LAF is located in Austin. UNITE at LIVESTRONG.ORG.

The Lance Armstrong Foundation will continue to support cancer survivorship and call on our nation's leaders to wage a new war against cancer through LIVESTRONG.ORG.
Since 1997, we've been working to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.
We started as a small group trying to raise money to fight this disease. As cancer has quietly become the world’s leading cause of death, our work has expanded and now reaches every corner of the globe.
We provide support to guide people through the cancer experience, bring them together to fight cancer—and work for a world in which our fight is no longer necessary.
Determined to make cancer a global priority, reduce stigma, improve support, increase access to care and make this disease HISTORY!
