    Why I Livestrong

    By shalbert82  |  Posted January 16, 2013  |  Shakopee, Minnesota
     
    Livestrong to me is more than just about a foundation that Lance Armstrong created. Livestrong is about all of those that are fighting for their life against cancer. One of those people is my dad. He has been fighting against leukemia for the past year and a half and the attitude of "livestrong" is what has gotten him through some of his hardest days. To me and my family Livestrong is an attitude that gets us through everyday. It means never giving up, even when things are so hard you don't know what else to do but throw in the towel. It is about strength. Livestrong is about finding out just how strong you are. It is about fighting like hell and not giving up because giving up is never an option. So the question was am I still wearing my Livestrong bracelet? My answer is yes and I wear it with pride.
