Today is LIVESTRONG day. 13 years ago today, Lance Armstrong, was diagnosed with advanced testicular cancer. And today I reached my fundraising goal of $3000 in my LIVESTRONG Challenge, Austin campaign.

Thank you to ALL my teammates who donated. The last two weeks have shown strong giving in response to my Twitter and Facebook campaign during which I challenged folks to give specific dollar amounts to reach my goal. When I started the campaign I was a little less than $1500 away from my goal.

I am especially grateful for all the generous folks that I have either known for many years or just met. Thanks to my coaches at Breakaway Training for sharing my campaign with the entire team. Breakaway Training donations represent close to 15% of all my donations to date.

You can still help with donations, of course. Donate online to fight cancer.

Now it’s time to focus on the ride. I can’t wait. Austin, here I come.
