Yesterday the Lance Armstrong Foundation announced the date for LIVESTRONG Day 2009 - October 2, 2009. LIVESTRONG Day is the Lance Armstrong Foundation's one-day initiative to raise awareness and funds for the cancer fight. Our goal is to have over 1000 global events take place in communities across the world to raise awareness and funds for the fight against cancer.
There will be many more details in the coming future, but we will have event registration available on March 2nd, 2009. In the meantime, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask by e-mailing livestrongday@livestrong.org.
Please take time to view the LAF's video on LIVESTRONG and the global message.

Imerman Angels: One-on-One Cancer Support
Imerman Angels connects a person fighting cancer today ("cancer fighter") with someone who has beaten the same type of cancer ("cancer survivor"). The relationship provides a fighter the opportunity to ask personal questions and receive encouragement from someone who is uniquely familiar with the situation. The relationship provides a survivor the opportunity to personally help a fighter as he or she battles the disease.
In addition, Imerman Angels also connects “caregivers.” A caregiver is a friend or family member who is supporting a cancer fighter. Like fighters and survivors, they wish to be paired up with another caregiver who relates to and understands their situation. For instance, we have introduced the mother of a three-year-old cancer fighter to the mother of a four-year-old cancer survivor.
