LANCE ARMSTRONG FOUNDATION

2005 Annual Report

We believe in life.

Your life.

We believe in living every minute of it with every ounce of your being.

And that you must not let cancer take control of it.

We believe in energy: channeled and fierce.

We believe in focus: getting smart and living strong.

Unity is strength. Knowledge is power. Attitude is everything.

This is the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

We kick in the moment you’re diagnosed.

We help you accept the tears. Acknowledge the rage.

We believe in your right to live without pain.

We believe in information. Not pity.

And in straight, open talk about cancer.

With husbands, wives and partners. With kids, friends and neighbors.

And the people you live with, work with, cry and laugh with.

This is no time to pull punches.

You’re in the fight of your life.

We’re about the hard stuff.

Like finding the nerve to ask for a second opinion.

And a third, or a fourth, if that’s what it takes.

We’re about getting smart about clinical trials.

And if it comes to it, being in control of how your life ends.

It’s your life. You will have it your way.

We’re about the practical stuff.

Planning for surviving. Banking your sperm. Preserving your fertility. Organizing your

finances. Dealing with hospitals, specialists, insurance companies and employers.

It’s knowing your rights.

It’s your life.

Take no prisoners.

We’re about the fight.

We’re your champion on Capitol Hill. Your advocate with the healthcare system.

Your sponsor in the research labs.

And we know the fight never ends.

Cancer may leave your body, but it never leaves your life.

This is the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

Founded and inspired by one of the toughest cancer survivors on the planet.

LANCE ARMSTRONG FOUNDATION

2005 Annual Report

I’m still telling my story. Talking about my cancer experience was

therapeutic. It was, and still is, an important form of support for me.

I now know that millions of others living with cancer feel the same.

When people share what they’ve lived and learned – about dealing

with the aftereffects of treatment, telling your kids, and managing pain

and depression – they help give others emotional and practical

support. Over the past year, one powerful phrase – LIVESTRONG

– embodied the spirit of people who have been affected by cancer.

One simple gesture – wearing the yellow wristband – became a

compelling symbol of strength and hope. Suddenly talking about

cancer became okay. Sharing your cancer experience with strangers

became commonplace.

Now, with more than 55 million people wearing hope on their

wrists, I realize that these shared stories are a truly powerful weapon

in the battle against cancer. Our power in the fight against cancer

lies in our ability to unite through common experiences and shared

hope. When we share our stories, we learn that we are not alone

in the fight. When we share our stories, our experiences take on a

deeper meaning; we channel energy, knowledge, inspiration and

strength to the millions of people living with cancer. That’s why I

share my story.

I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TESTICULAR CANCER

IN �996 WHEN I WAS �5 YEARS OLD. TEN YEARS

AND SEVEN TOUR DE FRANCE VICTORIES LATER,

LANCE’S Story

WHEN WE SHARE OUR STORIES,we learn that we are not alone in the fight. When we share our stories, our experiences take on a deeper meaning.

I AM LANCE, and I’m a testicular cancer survivor.

2005 Annual Report

Stories about unexpected diagnoses and overwhelming treatments,

stories about seeking help and finding hope, stories about the tough

challenges—physical, emotional and practical—that they expected,

and those that still catch them completely by surprise.

Like the millions of people who wear our yellow LIVESTRONG

wristbands, we know that our stories and experiences with

cancer gain deeper meaning when we share them, whether we

are individuals, organizations, healthcare providers, researchers,

advocates or decision makers. We learn from each other, and we

discover new ways to meet the complex and ongoing challenges

of survivorship day after day, year after year. There will always be

new stories to tell, and we are listening.

Cancer is the second leading cause

of death in the United States. � in �

women and � in � men will be diagnosed

with cancer during their lifetime.

Approximately 65% of adults and 78%

of children diagnosed with cancer today

will be alive 5 years from now. � out

a family member with cancer.

MORE THAN �0 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE U.S.

2005 Annual Report

I continued to work and just went back and forth for my treat-

ments, and I never gave up hope. I think it was my job that really

gave me the strength. I work with children ages 7 to 16, who are

living in public housing and drug-infested homes, and they gave

me the strength to keep on going, because they cared so much.

They would say, “Miss Alecia, what’s the matter? You don’t feel

good?” They took care of me, like I was the baby hen and they were

the mother.

I have one girlfriend, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She

never called her children, her husband or anything. Her doctor

called me and he told me, “Come get her.” I said, “Well, what’s the

matter?” At this time, I was going through radiation, I didn’t have

any hair or anything, and I was home. He says, “They found a lump

in her breast.” Now this is the doctor calling me to come get her. So

I said, “Okay. Keep her there. I’ll come and get her.” We sat there.

I explained to her what she has to go through. He said, “Listen to

Alecia. Listen to her. She has been here with you through thick and

thin. She is a survivor. Look at her. She’s a survivor.” I held her

hand all the way through it.

I BECAME A CANCER SURVIVOR ON JANUARY ��,

�979. I WAS FIRST DIAGNOSED ON THAT DAY WITH

NON-HODGKIN’S LYMPHOMA OF THE STOMACH.

ALECIA’S Story

I AM ALECIA, and I’m a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor.

WE SAT THERE. I EXPLAINEDto her what she has to go through. I held her hand all the way through it.

organizations that serve the

needs of people living with can-

cer as identified by the National Action Plan for Cancer Survivor-ship: Advancing Public Health Strategies (developed by the

CDC and the LAF). In �005, the

LAF awarded more than $�.8

million (�� grants) to nonprofit

organizations.

The Community Program funds

grants in five subject areas:

cancer pain, palliative and end-

of-life care, physical activity and

nutrition, survivorship education,

emotional support and practi-

cal issues of survivorship. The

Program offers partners training,

technical assistance and the

opportunity to discuss challenges

and exchange best practices.

BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS

Through the National Partnerships

Program, the LAF forms long-

term partnerships with national

nonprofit organizations to offer a

coordinated, comprehensive ap-

proach to cancer survivorship. The

partnerships leverage the strengths

and resources of each organization

to enhance the public health infra-

community-based partners that

provide direct services to tradition-

ally underserved cancer survivors.

Each partner has access to research

results, interventions, expertise

and training provided by the center

with which it is affiliated, while the

centers gain important insights into

the realities of cancer survivors’

needs and how to meet them in a

community context.

The following NCI-desig-

nated Comprehensive Cancer

Centers are members of the

LIVESTRONG Survivorship

CREATING A NETWORK FOR CANCER SURVIVORS

In �005, the LAF launched the

LIVESTRONG Survivorship Center

of Excellence Network, which

brings together leading survivor-

ship centers to foster collaboration

and revolutionize survivorship care.

The centers are linked to nonprofit,

• Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York City

• Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston

The LAF also

continued to fund the

following groundbreaking

survivorship centers:

LIVESTRONG SURVIVORSHIP CENTERS

• Cook Children's Medical Center Life After Cancer Program, Fort Worth

• Nevada Cancer Institute Lance Armstrong Foundation Cancer Survivorship Center, Las Vegas

• University Hospitals of Cleveland Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital, The Center for Survivors of Child- hood Cancer, Cleveland

• University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center Living Well After Cancer Program, Philadelphia

3,500 cyclists, cancer survivors and their loved ones from 30 U.S. states and Canada raised

awareness and more than $1.3 million for the LAF through the LIVESTRONG Ride in Portland,

OR, in September 2005. More than 1,500 event volunteers helped make this event a success.

Some of the funds raised by LIVESTRONG Ride participants went to the Oregon Health &

Science University Cancer Institute to launch a state-of-the-art young adult survivorship center.

Funds also supported LAF programs that help people living with cancer.

PROVIDING HOPE AFTER THE STORM

In �005, the LAF awarded close

to $600,000 to �7 organiza-

tions assisting cancer survivors

whose medical treatments were

interrupted by Hurricane

Katrina. The funding ensured

that approximately �,�00

cancer survivors from the Gulf

Coast region would continue

to receive appropriate medical

DEAR LANCE ARMSTRONG FOUNDATION,

I am writing to express thanks for all that you have done to help

me. The assistance you provided has really been a blessing. Because

of your generosity, I have been able to live much easier. Your

Foundation is truly a great help to all who need assistance.

Before you stepped in, I was barely surviving, and could not meet

my needs. You have renewed my faith in the goodness of humanity

after being turned down by countless other agencies. The Lance

Armstrong Foundation has come through when no others would,

and it means a lot to me.

Thank you so much for all that you do.

Sincerely,

Donald J. Prockup, Jr.

From a cancer survivor who received assistance following Hurricane

Katrina from the LAF via a Hurricane Katrina relief award provided

to Providence Hospital of Mobile, Alabama.

ESTABLISHING COMMUNITY

In October 2005, the LAF held its 9th annual Ride for the Roses Weekend, presented in

partnership with Nike. The weekend, held in Austin, Texas, celebrated the success of the LAF’s

grassroots fundraising and outreach program, the Peloton Project. Fundraisers from 50 states

and 26 countries raised an unprecedented $7 million through the 7 for Survivors campaign

coinciding with Lance’s attempt at a 7th Tour de France victory.

More than 6,500 cyclists and 1,800 volunteers participated in Ride for the Roses Weekend.

The PowerBar Health & Sports Expo welcomed more than 10,000 visitors, and more than

500 attended Inspirational Stories from Cancer Survivors, an educational panel discussion

featuring interviews with Lance and five cancer survivors. The LIVESTRONG Kids Event drew

a crowd of more than 300 families for an adventure challenge race and kid-friendly activities

at Austin’s Auditorium Shores.

embarrassed about things like puberty. I was already a shorter kid. I

turned 12, and I was starting to look at girls, wanting to hang out with

them and start dating and stuff, but I knew that there was no way — hav-

ing no hair, being and looking so sick — that that was going to happen.

In hindsight, I would have asked my doctors and nurses a lot of

specific questions. “Is this eventually going to go away? Am I going

to look better so that the girls will like me? Will I start puberty when

everybody else will?” These were embarrassing questions that I wish I

would have asked anyway, just to ease my mind.

As a young person with cancer nowadays, your chances of having a

life after chemo are great. But in your quest to finish and move on,

remember to prepare. Start asking your doctors and nurses specific

questions about what effects the chemo can have right after treatment

and many years after. Not so you can be a hypochondriac or worry,

but just so you can be prepared and do what you need to do to have

as normal a life as possible.

of the night when I was feeling restless, I would go to the

Notebook and gain a sense of calm and control.”

We got closer. He’d talk to me. He’s always calm, so that helped.

Sometimes the calmness would get me mad, but I’d have to remem-

ber he was there for me.

My family comes first even more now. In our culture, we are quiet.

We don’t talk about things. After getting cancer, I started talking

to people, “Get your mammograms. It’ll save your life. It saved

mine.” I had to force myself to do it.

I started talking to other cancer patients when they register,

because they are survivors and most people don’t know there are

other survivors. Most of them are real glad. They want to meet with

other cancer survivors just to talk, because sometimes some of the

families they are with can’t talk about certain things. I’m happy to

help them. I get excited.

2005 Annual Report

In 2005, the LAF hosted LIVESTRONG Galas in Austin and New York, raising vital funding

for our mission. The 2005 LIVESTRONG Awards, given to those who have positively impacted the

cancer survivorship community, were presented in Austin to Heidi Adams, founder of Planet Cancer,

for her work with young adult cancer survivors, and to Nike for its long-standing commitment,

collaboration and contribution to cancer survivorship. Peter Dolan, CEO of Bristol-Myers Squibb,

received the award for his leadership in the battle against cancer at the New York City Gala.

programs at the Centers for Dis-

ease Control and Prevention and

the National Cancer Institute.

PRESIDENT’S CANCER PANEL

In August �005, the White

House reappointed Lance Arm-

strong to the President’s Cancer

Panel. The Panel, chaired by Dr.

LaSalle D. Leffall, Jr., monitors

the development and execution

of the activities of the National

Cancer Program and reports

directly to the President. In June,

two-day meeting in Washington,

D.C., to follow up on the prog-

ress that has been made in the

area of cancer survivorship since

the �00� report was released.

NATIONAL CONFERENCE

OF STATE LEGISLATURES

The LAF and the National

Conference of State Legisla-

tures partnered on an advocacy

project to collect and analyze

information on state-level

policies and regulations that

support cancer survivorship. The

year-long project will produce a

written report in �006 consisting

of a comparative matrix and a

detailed narrative of policy strat-

egies for states to develop and

implement activities that support

cancer survivorship.

CONNECTING COMMUNITIES

In �005, the LAF participated

as a member of two cancer

advocacy coalitions: the One

Voice Against Cancer Coali-

tion and the Cancer Leadership

Council to fight funding cuts for

federal cancer programs and

address public policy issues in

cancer. We also partnered with

Bristol-Myers Squibb on the Tour

of Hope, a nine-day, cross-coun-

try cycling journey to increase

awareness surrounding clinical

trial enrollment. In the fall, we

launched a pilot program to of-

fer grassroots advocacy training

to interested advocates, and

increased online grassroots ad-

vocacy activities, including the

launch of a monthly advocacy

newsletter with federal legisla-

tive updates and action alerts.

“During LIVESTRONG Day, I’ll have the opportunity to

meet with members of Congress from my home state and

tell them my story and ask them to support a couple of very

specific pieces of legislation that will make a difference in

the battle against cancer. Hopefully, I’ll have an opportu-

nity to make a difference on Capitol Hill.”

—James, father of a cancer survivor

The LAF relies heavily on the generous support of volunteers who work diligently

throughout the year in the LAF office and at events. In �005, more than 6,700 Peloton

members donated more than �00,000 hours raising funds for the LAF. More than �,700

volunteers gave their time and energy and logged more than ��,000 hours, helping

to plan and implement the LAF’s events, including Ride for the Roses Weekend and

the LIVESTRONG Galas. In addition to the support provided by volunteers, the LAF

employs interns who aid the staff in fields ranging from program development to event

planning. The time provided by the volunteers and interns, while immeasurable in terms

of financial support, is extremely valuable to the LAF and ensures the Foundation’s

resources can be dedicated to helping people affected by cancer.
