October 1 marks the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month…I have yet to find someone who has not been touched by cancer in some shape or form. And, there isn’t a more profound leader in the fight against this disease than Lance Armstong and the LIVESTRONG organization.
As a long-time supporter of Lance Armstrong and the fight against cancer, Nike created the iconic yellow LIVESTRONG wristband in 2004 and has been instrumental in bringing the cancer fight to the global stage, with more than 70 million bands distributed to date. Nike went on to create the LIVESTRONG collection of running and training apparel, footwear and accessories in 2008, enabling people to show their support and wear sports products that inspire and empower people affected by cancer. This year the Nike LIVESTRONG collection will begin to expand beyond the United States, inviting consumers around the world to show their support for LIVESTRONG and the 28 million people in the world living with cancer. Since 2004, Nike has helped the Lance Armstrong Foundation raise more than $80 million.
Show your support and do your part to help the fight against all forms of cancer by wearing the LIVESTRONG/NIKE apparel with pride…
