Our Favorite Team LIVESTRONG Memories

LIVESTRONG Foundation staffers do more than just work in the office from 9-5. This is not the kind of place where you clock in and out. Our staff members live and breathe the mission and they even fundraise and participate alongside you at events. It is difficult to express just how moving and fun these events can be for all involved unless you have actually participated. This week, we put out a request to staff to share their favorite Team LIVESTRONG memory. We got some really great replies! We hope you’ll share your favorite memories below and bring along a friend to join you this year. Thank you all for making these events so meaningful (and such a blast) and for helping us raise the funds necessary to help people affected by cancer now.   Robert Ramos   Grassroots Event: Huck Cancer Huck Cancer was my first time to play Ultimate Frisbee & I participated in a tournament filled with experienced players from club teams.

That’s where life truly begins.   Callie Atkins Community Fundraiser My first experience with Team LIVESTRONG w...
