Attitude is everything. This simple phrase, now part of

the LAF’s mission statement and battle cry, means so

much . The a t t i tude adopted by people l i v ing w ith

cancer as they learn to face its multiple chal lenges. The

attitude toward cancer not as a fatal d isease, but as a

chronic i l lness — one that you l ive with your enti re l ife .

T h a t ’ s t h e key d i f f e r e n c e — l i v i n g w i t h c a n c e r. A n d

In 2004, the LAF awarded 40 grants to 39 nonprofit

o rgan i za t ions ac ross the count r y to he lp add ress

survivorship needs. We funded three new survivorship

centers focused on the unique challenges faced by people

with cancer. We helped develop a major national action

In 2004, the LAF and the CDC collaborated on the National

Action Plan for Cancer Survivorship—a joint effort to help the

public health community effectively and comprehensively

address cancer survivorship issues faced by the growing num-

ber of cancer survivors. The plan has been implemented

across the country to increase awareness

among the general public, policy makers, researchers,

advocates and survivors of the role public health can play

in advancing solutions to cancer survivorship issues and

to encourage organizations to take action for and on behalf

of cancer survivors .

C D C C O O P E R AT I V E AG R E E M E N T

Through a cooperative agreement with the CDC, the LAF

received approximately $1.5 million in 2004. The grant, which

will be distributed over five years, employs strategies to

improve knowledge, attitudes and behaviors surrounding can-

cer and cancer survivorship among underserved populations

including African Americans, American Indians, Alaska

Natives and Spanish-speaking rural Americans as outlined in

the Nat ional Act ion Plan for Cancer Surv ivorship .

The LAF laid the groundwork in 2004 to utilize funding from

the cooperative agreement to expand efforts to improve the

quality of life of cancer survivors by ensuring that the Plan is

promoted and used by state Comprehensive Cancer Control

(CCC) coa l i t ions to identi fy cancer survivorsh ip ob jec -

tives and incorporate them into their state cancer plans.

The P lan wi l l a lso p rovide a f ramework fo r developing

distinct col laboration-building projects among two of the

prior ity populations: Afr ican American, American Indian

and Alaskan Native . Each of these pro jects wi l l b r ing

together representatives f rom numerous o rganizations

that serve cancer survivors with the goals of : 1 ) assess -

ing the types and d is t r ibution of cancer su rvivorsh ip

organizations and resources available to each population

and 2) developing a strategy to set common goals and

objectives and work together toward their achievement.

In 2004, the LAF also began the development of a series of

easy-to-read brochures about cancer survivorship in an effort

to provide underserved populations with easy-to-understand

and highly accessible information. The first five brochures in

the series address the needs of Caucasians, African

Americans, American Indians, Alaskan Natives and both

Spanish-speaking and non Spanish-speaking Hispanic-

Latinos. The brochures are distributed to the different

populations through clinics, doctors’ offices, support groups

and on an individual basis.

L I V E S T R O N G R E S O U R C E

F O R C A N C E R S U RV I VO R S

LIVESTRONG.org, the LAF’s online educational resource that

provides information to help people living with cancer under-

stand the physical, emotional and practical issues that come

with a cancer diagnosis, served an average of 200,000 people

8

per month in 2004. Offering survivorship stories based on the

experience of other cancer survivors, survivorship tools and

additional resources, the online resource continues to provide

vital information to people affected by cancer.

L I V E S T R O N G ™

S U RV I VO R C A R E P R O G R A M

LIVESTRONG™ SurvivorCare, a partnership between the LAF,

CancerCare and Patient Advocate Foundation, helps survivors

face the everyday physical, emotional and practical chal-

lenges of cancer through education, qualified referrals and

counseling services. Survivors and their loved ones can

receive emotional support, grief counseling and professional

advice by trained social workers. Case managers are also

available to help with access to care, employment questions

and financial concerns. All services are provided free of

charge. In 2004, more than 3,800 people utilized the program.

C O M M U N I T Y P R O G R A M

Through its Community Program, the LAF supports community

nonprofit programs across the country serving the needs of

cancer survivors as identified by the National Action Plan for

Cancer Survivorship. Since 2001, the LAF Community

Program has awarded more than $2 million in grants to 95

organizations around the country.

The LAF offers much more than just a financial grant to these

programs and organizations; it also offers practical advice,

new ideas, staff and volunteer support, visibility, outreach,

fellowship and hope. Through the responsible investment

of resources in community-centered initiatives, we join

our fellow organizations in serving the underserved, raising

and addressing neglected survivorship issues and impacting

people affected by cancer across the country in a personal

and meaningful way.

B U I L D I N G A C O M M U N I T Y O F H O P E

As a service to LAF Community Program grantees, the

Foundation hosted its first Community Program Conference,

Building a Community of Hope, in 2004. The conference

brought together LAF Community Program partner

organizations for a weekend of community and capacity-

building activities and focused on topics including

infrastructure development, strategic planning, the

fundamentals of fundraising and evaluation. Attendees also

engaged in relationship building activities during which they

had the opportunity to discuss ideas and challenges and

exchange best practices. The Community Program

Conference will continue to be a service offered by the LAF.

LIVESTRONG DAY

In June 2004, the LAF sponsored its fi rst LIVESTRONG

Day in Washington, DC. LAF advocates met with members

of Congress and participated in a Capitol Hil l briefing for

lawmakers and their staff members about advancing can-

cer survivorship strategies. Participants included cancer

survivors, officials f rom the CDC, the National Cancer

Institute (NCI) and the President’s Cancer Panel.

During LIVESTRONG Day, advocates worked to educate

members of Congress on the importance of the CDC

Comprehensive Cancer Control program, which assists

states as they implement unique cancer control plans,

including strategies to address cancer survivorship. The

program received $16.9 million in the final omnibus appro-

pr iations bi l l—a 40% increase f rom the previous fiscal

year. This was due in large part to the hard work of LAF

advocates and the entire cancer advocacy community.

As a result of the LAF’s advocacy efforts in 2004,

Congress created a new federal initiative that will provide

$900,000 to the CDC to enhance the LAF-CDC National

Cancer Survivorship Resource Center.

CANCER LEADERSHIP COUNCIL

In December 2004, the LAF became a member of the

Cancer Leadership Counci l , a patient -centered panel of

30 national advocacy organizations which address

public policy issues that affect the cancer community. By

taking a leadership role, the LAF hopes to educate policy

makers about the importance of cancer survivorship issues

and to help secure more funding for cancer survivors on a

national level.

PRESIDENT’S CANCER PANEL

President George W. Bush appointed Lance Armstrong to

serve as a member of the President’s Cancer Panel in 2002.

As a member of the panel , Lance works hard to raise

awareness of cancer survivorship issues. In 2004, the

panel released Living Beyond Cancer : Finding a New

Balance, a report explor ing chal lenges faced by cancer

survivors and advising the President and nation on how to

best address their needs.

The LAF aims to fund research that is not readily fundable from traditional sources, and encourages and supports the efforts

of both established and young investigators in the early stages of their research career. In 2004, proposals were accepted in

two areas: cancer survivorship and the basic and clinical science of testicular cancer. The LAF funded 20 new one- to three-year

research projects, continued funding of two groundbreaking survivorship centers and supported the creation of three additional

centers in 2004. Since inception, the LAF has awarded 78 research grants totaling more than $9.6 million.

In 2004, the LAF provided a three-year grant to the University

of Southern California (USC) to house the Germ Cell Tumor

and Tissue Bank Resource. The resource will collect, store

and distribute specimens of testicular cancer for use by cancer

researchers around the world. By providing the research

community with this resource, the LAF will have a much

broader impact on the study of testicular cancer than by sole-

ly funding testicular cancer research grants. USC will appoint

an advisory board that will select recipients of the tissue

samples, which will become available to researchers in 2006.

L A F S U RV I VO R S H I P C E N T E R S

The Lance Armstrong Foundation is working to develop and

refine a strategy to create a network of survivorship centers

that will serve as comprehensive, one-stop resources for

cancer survivors. In 2004, the LAF awarded more than $2.4

million to establish the following Survivorship Centers.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS OF CLEVELAND

RAINBOW BABIES & CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

THE CENTER FOR SURVIVORS OF CHILDHOOD CANCER

CLEVELAND, OHIO

Rainbow Babies, the pediatric component of the University

Hospitals of Cleveland’s Ireland Cancer Center, provides a

strong interdisciplinary approach to patient care with early

identification and intervention, advocacy and counsel and

education for young cancer survivors, their families, educa-

tors and peer groups. With this recent grant from the LAF, the

organization has established the Center for Survivors of

Childhood Cancer to provide support and counseling for

cancer survivors from the newborn to age 21. Its programs

will follow cancer survivors over time to investigate their

issues and needs and identify successful interventions.

In addition, the Center will create a program for newly

diagnosed patients to begin treatment with the support of

professionals, educators, coaches and survivors.

DANA-FARBER CANCER INSTITUTE

PERINI FAMILY SURVIVORS’ CENTER

LANCE ARMSTRONG FOUNDATION ADULT

SURVIVORSHIP CLINIC

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS

The Lance Armstrong Foundation Adult Survivorship Clinic

within the Perini Family Survivors’ Center at the Dana-Farber

Cancer Institute will be the first major initiative to systemati-

cally understand and tackle the issues of adult survivors. With

help from the LAF, the Center has launched a multi-discipli-

nary, full-service adult survivors’ clinic focused on bringing

the Perini Clinic’s incomparable model of research and patient

care to bear on the lives of survivors of adult cancers. The

vision for the Perini Family Survivors’ Center includes a variety

of educational and support programs, consultative care in

medical subspecialties such as endocrinology, cardiology,

gastroenterology, neurology and related testing and screen-

ing, surgical subspecialty consultative care in areas such as

dermatology and fertility, and genetic counseling. Following

the Perini Program model, the LAF Adult Survivorship Clinic

will also provide a range of psychosocial resources for sur-

vivors, including counseling and neuropsychiatry services.

NEVADA CANCER INSTITUTE

LANCE ARMSTRONG FOUNDATION CANCER

SURVIVORSHIP CENTER

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

The Nevada Cancer Institute (NVCI) is establishing a world-

class comprehensive care facility dedicated to state-of-the-art

research and implementation of groundbreaking methods of

prevention, detection and treatment of cancer. The Lance

Armstrong Foundation Cancer Survivorship Center will be

located within the Nevada Cancer Institute’s patient and

information library. It will contain resource materials, Internet

access, translation and interpretation services, navigation

services and general support. The Center will help patients

and their families navigate the complicated questions

surrounding treatment options and protocols and provide

information necessary to help cancer patients from the day of

diagnosis. A survivorship coordinator will be dedicated to

providing full-time survivorship support, information and

services to cancer patients and their families. In addition, the

coordinator will have a unique opportunity to work in concert

with NVCI’s medical researchers to study and determine the

long-term effects of cancer survivorship.

The LAF celebrated its 8th annual Ride for the Roses Weekend,

presented in partnership with the John Wayne Cancer

Foundation, in Austin, Texas in October 2004. The weekend

celebrated the fundraising and awareness-building efforts of the

2004 Peloton Project, the LAF’s major grassroots fundraising

and outreach program. The Peloton Project surpassed its goal

and set a new record, raising more than $5.6 million in 2004

and collecting more than 38,000 donations from all 50 states

and 21 countries.

Ride for the Roses Weekend drew more than 6,500 cyclists and

1,800 volunteers. Close to 10,000 people attended the PowerBar

Health & Sports Expo, which served as the hub for all weekend

activities and offered free cancer screenings, merchandise sales

and cancer related information. Nearly 1,600 people attended A

Conversation with Lance, an educational event about living

with cancer featuring an interview with Lance by Ann Curry of

NBC’s “Today Show.” The first LIVESTRONG Kids Event drew a

crowd of more than 300 children and parents for a one-mile walk

and kid-friendly activities around Austin’s Auditorium Shores.

L I V E TO R I D E GA L A

The 2004 Live to Ride Gala drew close to 1,000 attendees. The

2004 Carpe Diem Awards, sponsored by Subaru and Wells Fargo,

were presented during the Gala to one organization and two

individuals who have positively impacted the cancer survivorship

community. Susan Rafte, a breast cancer survivor, was recog-

nized for her work on the Pink Ribbons Project, Dancers in

Motion for Breast Cancer. The project promotes awareness

of breast cancer and raises funds for breast cancer advocacy,

education and research through the art and expression of dance.

Alisa Gilbert, also a breast cancer survivor, was recognized for

her dedication to providing support and resources to American

Indian and Alaskan Native (AI/AN) cancer survivors. The CDC

was honored for its commitment to cancer survivorship and the

National Action Plan for Cancer Survivorship. Each winner

received a $5,000 grant for the cancer survivorship program or

organization of their choice. Actor Ben Stiller served as master of

ceremonies, and the audience bid on exciting live auction items

including a chance to sing back-up for Sheryl Crow, have dinner

with Lance and Robin Williams and act as an extra in the Ben

Stiller film, “Meet the Fockers.” One lucky bidder won special

access to the 2004 Tour de France, with invitations to ride in the

team follow car and attend morning meetings on the team bus.

M E R C H A N D I S E

As a tribute to Lance’s inspirational fight against cancer as

well as his historic attempt at a sixth Tour de France win, the

LAF and Nike teamed up to launch the will Wear Yellow Live

Strong campaign in May 2004. Nike donated $1 million to the

Foundation and lead efforts to raise an additional $5 million

through the sale of LIVESTRONG wristbands. Wristband sales

far surpassed the original $6 million goal. In 2004 alone, $31

million wristbands were purchased. Millions of people became

aware of the Lance Armstrong Foundation as this symbol of

hope and inspiration began to appear on the wrists of millions

of people affected by cancer and their loved ones.
