LIVESTRONG Day Campus Walk

On LIVESTRONG Day, Tuesday, May 13th, 2008, LIVESTRONG KU will host a FREE Campus Walk, inviting the KU community to unite in the fight against cancer. The Campus Walk will begin at noon in front of the Kansas Union.

The walk will proceed along Jayhawk Boulevard to the Chi-O fountain, cross the street, and return along the boulevard to Danforth Chapel. Walkers will cross the street again and return to the Kansas Union. Wristbands will be available in exchange for donations to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. All participants are encouraged to WEAR YELLOW.

Cancer costs Kansas more than 1 billion a year in health care costs, and Kansas City remains the largest metro area in the U.S. not served by an NCI-designated cancer center. Such a designation for the KU Cancer Center would have a significant public health impact. The University of Kansas is positioned to become one of the more active college campuses and a national leader in the fight against cancer. LIVESTRONG KU was established to support the efforts of the Lance Armstrong Foundation and to unite the KU community in the fight against cancer.

Please join us by coming out and showing your support on LIVESTRONG Day 2008.
