Livestrong 2010

Livestrong is Lance Armstrong's global initiative to fight cancer. You'll recognize its symbol whenever you see someone wearing a yellow band on their wrist.

I have lost a loved one to the disease, and I don't think there is anyone in the world that hasn't been affected by it.

This year during the Tour de France Nike has printed thousands of messages of hope and inspiration on the streets of the tour from their athletes, celebrities and people involved with the cause.

I just received the picture of my own personal message written on the road.

Talk about the cool factor. More than anything I am proud that I supported the cause in this small but special way.

The opportunity is there for anyone around the world to submit their own message and have it written just like mine. Thousands have already done it and you can too by clicking: http://bit.ly/chlkbot.

Help the fight. Spread the word. Tweet and repost your own message or this one and let the world know your stance!

Livestrong!
