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.

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.

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.

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.
