Unfortunately, the Honorable Rudolph W. Giuliani has had to cancel his appearance at the AFP International Conference. In his place, record-breaking cyclist and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong will give the keynote address.
The Power of Preparation, Perseverance, and Perspective"
If scripted by Hollywood, the story would be dismissed as trite melodrama: A deadly disease strikes a promising athlete. Despite desperately thin odds, he manages not only to beat the affliction but also to return to the sport and win its top prize. Unbelievable, except it's true. His experience made him a part of a cancer community, and motivated him to unleash the same passion and drive he does in bike races to the fight against cancer. Lance's presentation is one of hope and inspiration, as he continues to be a leader and activist on behalf of cancer survivors around the world. The Lance Armstrong Foundation has become among the most influential organizations of its kinds and today provides practical information and tools people need to battle cancer and live strong through education, advocacy, public health programs and research grants.
