With the success of LIVESTRONG Ride Portland in 2005, we learned that these regional events have the ability to bring together entire communities in support of cancer survivors. Expanding to five cities this year will help the LAF bring its message to an even larger population. We anticipate that the series will grow each year, expanding into even more communities and enabling more participants to support people affected by cancer and to celebrate survivorship.
More Quotes from Mitch Stoller:
Approximately 1.3 million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer this year. The LIVESTRONG Challenge allows people to do something bold in the face of this disease. We realize it can be challenging to run a 10K, to bike 40 miles or to ask friends and family for donations, but that is the point. We want participants to challenge themselves and their friends and families to make a difference for cancer survivors. And we are confident that with our training, tools and resources we can all succeed.Mitch Stoller
We're excited to offer people all across the world an opportunity to not only support the LAF, but to unite together for people affected by cancer. The Ride is a chance to challenge yourself, to push your limits. Whether you ride 10 miles or 100 miles, whether you raise 500 or 15,000, it's an opportunity to take bold action in the face of cancer.

When Lance was diagnosed with advanced testicular cancer, he was presented with the greatest challenge of his life. He faced that challenge and won. Now Lance has accepted a new challenge to make cancer a national priority and he needs all people -- walkers, runners, riders, volunteers, donors -- to rise to the challenge and join in this fight.

Useful as a war against France, undertaken by the Government against the will of the people would be for our revolutionary development, just so dangerous must be the effect upon our democratic development of a war supported by blind popular enthusiasm.
