Resources: Livestrong - Blog and Facebook

I only recently discovered all that the Lance Armstrong Foundation, Livestrong, has to offer. They are a wealth of information, with international programs that are making a huge dent in the fight against cancer. They offer resources on survivorship, community programs, grants and research and many other ways to plug in and get involved. It's a place to go for answers.

From the main page of the website you can find the Livestrong blog, subscribe, and receive e-mail updates to all posts. From the blog you can also join Livestrong's Facebook page, where you can become a fan without having to send a Friend Request. This is where you can post any question or share experiences. I have asked questions and within a few hours, received very helpful information. It's as if there's a magic genie monitoring the Facebook page waiting for people to ask for help. Here's an example:

As someone who is constantly searching for answers, this is a gold mine! I am truly grateful for this forum and the magic genies who maintain it.

Livestrong!

About Me

There I was, a citizen of the world, cruising along in life, happy to be here, trying, like many of us, to juggle life’s challenges and create happy memories. Then, all of a sudden, I find myself on a battlefield with no armor, training, back up forces or ammunition. Cancer is now the number one cause of death worldwide. It strikes one in two men, one in three women. In a time of global unrest, I am one of many fighting in another deadly war. Cancer is fought on the most frightening terrain we know of, our bodies. It’s an enemy marked by cells run amuck. It strikes us one at a time, but it wounds us all. I have chosen to fight this war loudly, armed with pushy determination. This blog is a glimpse of my battle and a peek at a few of my weapons.
