LIVESTRONG Day (10/2)

For LIVESTRONG Day (10/2), we're creating a banner that will honor the 28 Millions living with cancer. All proceeds will benefit LIVESTRONG!

We do need your help, though. For a donation of $5 (approx. €3,90) to LIVESTRONG via my LSC fundraising page: http://austin2010.livestrong.org/henrike , we will add the name of your loved one (cancer survivor, warrior or angel) to our "cyclist" (the "Northern Germany supporting LIVESTRONG" will not be visible on the finished banner/t-shirts).

For a donation of $10, you'll receive a thank you card with the finished image!

We're also offering t-shirts (white or yellow) for a donation of $35 (approx. €27,18), which will be mailed in late October! (early October for people living in Europe)

Austin Challenge online auctions (LiveStrong items)

A huge thank you to everyone who bid on the items. I reached the $750 fundraising mark, so it's been a success. There are a few "I Ride For LIVESTRONG" bike decals (Trek Unity Campaign) left, so if you'd like to have one, please support my LiveStrong fundraising via http://austin2010.livestrong.org/henrike and I'll mail you one as a thank you gift.

1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will face cancer in their lifetimes. It's time to change the odds. Your donation will support the global fight against cancer and the 28 millions who are affected by cancer!

Game on, cancer....

We need to challenge cancer until nobody needs to suffer and/or die from this horrible disease, anymore. Pick a fight with cancer today and support those who are currently in treatment and those who are in their final stages of their lives.

Exciting news

From livestrongblog.org: "Cancer is projected to become the leading cause of death worldwide in the year 2010. It is because of these sobering statistics that the Lance Armstrong Foundation has announced the LIVESTRONG Global Cancer Summit in Ireland."
