Lizbeth & Bobby

About a month ago I posted that I had commited to do the Southern California LiveStrong ride . My reason for participating is because I have lost relatives to Cancer and my Godson’s father, Bobby Granger, was battling cancer as well.

It is with a heavy heart that I write this, Bobby lost his battle with cancer on March 2nd. I will now be riding the LiveStrong ride in his memory.

Why support the Lance Armstrong foundation? I’m pretty sure that almost everyone has been touched by this deadly illness. Here is what the LAF can do for a cancer patient:

LIVESTRONG SurvivorCare provides:

• Emotional support
• Individual counseling
• Financial assistance
• Assistance with legal and/or insurance issues
• Matching to clinical trials

To speak to someone about receiving the services listed above, please call LIVESTRONG SurvivorCare toll-free. A case manager is available to take your call M-F from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST.

As you can see, LAF is not only about Cancer Advocacy, they are there to offer assistance to help face the everyday physical, emotional and practical challenges of cancer through education, qualified referrals and counseling services.
