Shawshank, VA 9/23/2011 (PennyPayDay) – On the day Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with cancer he pledged to fight and live as a survivor.It’s a moment I have shared, along with millions of others around the world. And it’s the cornerstone of the LIVESTRONG movement: an unshakeable promise to fight cancer and live with dignity.
To honor that commitment and celebrate survivorship, we join together every year to make a bold, global statement, and we need your help.
Pledge to wear yellow with Lance on LIVESTRONG Day—October 2—and stand in solidarity with cancer survivors around the world.
When you pledge to wear yellow, you’ll stand as a reminder that survivors and supporters are in communities everywhere.
And this year, it’s even more critical. World leaders concluded the historic UN Summit on non-communicable diseases and more than 150,000 LIVESTRONG supporters took our fight to the international stage. They called out cancer as a global crisis and demanded that world leaders Face Up To It.
Countries made historic commitments to tackle the world’s worst killers including cancer. But it’s up to us to make sure they follow through on their promises.
On October 2, LIVESTRONG supporters will stand together to show the world that in massive numbers—and in bold spirit—we have strength.
Pledge to wear yellow on LIVESTRONG day and be counted:

On October 2, we can hold up a megaphone to our movement. With your help, we’ll show the world that we’re committed to fighting cancer with the same courage, tenacity and unbeatable spirit will that define LIVESTRONG survivors.
October 2, pledge to wear yellow, and stand with us.
