Off to Washington

I am very excited to report that I have been invited to go to Washington D.C. as a cancer survivorship advocate in June on behalf of LAF to take part in LIVESTRONG Day. Woohoo.

Here is the information from LAF:

The Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) believes that in the battle with cancer, unity is strength, knowledge is power and attitude is everything.

Join us in Washington, D.C. June 6-8, 2005 to participate in LIVESTRONG™ Day and raise awareness on Capitol Hill about the challenges facing people living with cancer.

On LIVESTRONG Day, the LAF will lead a unified group of advocates to Washington, D.C to encourage lawmakers to address the health policy concerns of people battling with cancer and their family members.


I am also going to be travelling to Washington in May to get sworn in to the D.C. Bar (long story), and possibly for one other event in July. Looks like I'll be spending a lot of quality time on the Acela this summer.
