BVC-CHAT In today's Batt

[Dr. Laura Kennedy]

In his defense, I did see a "hill" marked on the Katy Flatland cue 
sheet.....

Here's the text of the e-mail from the LAF

Thank you for supporting LIVESTRONG™ and the Lance Armstrong Foundation 
(LAF). Your purchase of LIVESTRONG™ wristbands helped raise more than 20 
million dollars -- money we're already putting to use to make a difference 
in the lives of the 10 million people battling cancer.

Through the success of the LIVESTRONG™ wristband campaign, the LAF has been 
able to:

• 	Make a $1 million gift to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to establish the 
LAF Adult Survivorship Clinic. The clinic will provide comprehensive 
services to help adult survivors LIVE STRONG.
• 	Award Community Program grants totaling more than $1 million to 39 
different non-profit organizations in four specific areas: adolescent and 
young adult issues, physical activity, survivorship education and support, 
and palliative and end of life care.
• 	Support development of LIVESTRONG™, a resource for cancer survivors. 
LIVESTRONG™ is a free educational program of the LAF created to provide 
cancer survivors with access to the resources they need to LIVE STRONG.

We're passionate about helping people with cancer live every minute of their 
lives with every ounce of their being. We are focused on providing programs 
that support and inspire people who are battling cancer. Please continue to 
support the LAF by wearing your LIVESTRONG™ wristband proudly and by making 
a tax-deductible donation online.

LIVE STRONG,
