I just wanted to give everyone a quick update….

You can now follow Lance on Twitter. After we got Doug hooked on it ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú he got Lance excited about the idea and he has now officially joined.

What is Twitter you might be asking? Well twitter is a new social media technology. Like blogging it offers any person the opportunity to publish their thoughts to the world. The difference with Twitter is that it is defined as micro blogging ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú meaning every post is 140 characters or less.

You don’t have to sign up to follow Lance or Doug.

But it is a lot…

A few members of the LIVESTRONG Army are gearing up to run the NYC Marathon this year. These six runners, who range in age from 21 to 60, are participating in the marathon to raise awareness about this deadly disease, while honoring their friends, family and even their own battles with cancer.

They are also members on LIVESTRONG.com and you can read their stories, becomes friends with them, and track their progress from now until race day.

Read the six runners stories.

Just wanted to share a recent article and video by Time Magazine featuring Lance. Readers from around the world submitted questions for Lance which he answered while at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York.

Give 100% of your marathon training and racing miles to a good cause and help fight cancer! Log your miles in Chicago’s Nike+ Marathon Charity Challenge. For this year’s Bank of America Chicago Marathon, Nike and Bank of America will be donating up to $100,000 through the Lance Armstrong Foundation to support programs at Children’s Memorial Hospital and the Imerman Angels.

The number of dollars donated depends on the number of miles you run and log through Nike+! To reach our goal of donating $100,000 to charity, we’ll need to have 500,000 Nike+ miles logged between now and midnight on October…

Wanted to let y’all know about a post on the Fat Cyclist blog that was posted today. Elden, a long time advocate, and friend of the Foundation, recently had the opportunity to ask Doug a few questions about the Global Cancer Initiative. Elden is a great guy and an incredibly strong person.

So head over to Fat Cyclist and find out why Lance is telling Susan to win and see what else Elden is doing in the cancer community.
