About the LIVESTRONG ChallengeThe LIVESTRONG Challenge is the Lance Armstrong Foundation's (LAF) signature fundraising event. This annual series of cycling and running/walking events takes place in cities across the country, enabling anyone to support the LAF's mission to inspire and empower people affected by cancer. In 2008 the LIVESTRONG Challenge will take place in Portland, OR (June 29); Bay Area, CA (July 13); Philadelphia, PA (Aug 24); and Austin, TX (Oct 25 - 26). We're planning to welcome more than 20,000 participants across the country while raising significant funds for the fight against cancer. In 2007, The LIVESTRONG Challenge raised nearly $9 million dollars, and since inception in 1997, $40 million has been raised for the LAF.
