So Livestrong funds no longer go to cancer research

[salsabike]

Oh, please look at her latest blog post at ironmomma.com! What is happening here is making me cry with pride.

From ironmomma.com: What an opportunity we here at Teens Living With Cancer have been given. Two months ago we (and I use the term WE lightly, it’s Lauren and Leah and the teens, I am just a big-mouthed volunteer!) were not quite on the map. Now we are known all over the country and opening a second chapter at Roswell. It’s not because we’ve generated some huge donation or got totally funded….. because we didn’t…. we need your donations.
But because people took notice and took interest. This community has come together like nothing I have ever seen. Not just Buffalo and Rochester, we have community all over the country who realize and understand our message. Our biggest donor is located in Boston. Second biggest donor in Buffalo. Rochester….. we hope you will come around too, because this is in YOUR back yard. These are YOUR kids. Your students. The kids who check your groceries at Wegmans. The kids who hold the door for you at the bagel shop.
I have done nothing special except use what I have to bring the spotlight to Teens Living With Cancer. I got Mr. Armstrong…… because I asked. This isn’t about me and it isn’t about him. It’s about why.
This whole experience has been a gift. We are so grateful for the love and support of everyone.
While our kick off is a week away, we still have much to do.
