The Lance Armstrong Foundation
LAF inspires and empowers people affected by cancer. They believe that Unity is Strength, Knowledge is Power and Attitude is Everything. They provide the practical information and tools people with cancer need to live life on their own terms. They take aim at the gaps between what is known and what is done to prevent suffering and death due to cancer. They unite people to fight cancer and pursue an agenda focused on prevention, access to screening and care, improvement of the quality of life for cancer survivors and investment in research.
Founded in 1997 by cancer survivor and champion cyclist Lance Armstrong, the LAF is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Austin, Texas.
