The e-mail that changed Doug Ulman�s life arrived in the fall of 1997:

Doug, yesterday I received an article (from the Brown Alumni Magazine) in the mail from a friend of mine. After reading the article and relating to...what you have gone through, I decided to drop you a line. Being a young man in the prime of your life both athletically and physically then to be struck by cancer is devastating. As you alluded to in the article, cancer is a life-altering event and a rough road. But I feel as if we are the lucky ones. Nobody can really have the perspective and the focus of a cancer survivor. If there is anything I can do to help your cause, please let me know. Otherwise, look after yourself and take care.

Lance Armstrong, 40, has spearheaded one of the most successful fundraising initiatives in history. His $400 million Livestrong foundation has become an international force in the fight against cancer. In 2007, Armstrong successfully campaigned across Texas for Proposition 15, which commits $3 billion toward cancer research over ten years; last year he lobbied the state of California to create a 2012 ballot initiative that would impose a $1-per-pack tax on cigarettes to generate some $855 million for cancer research.

For those facing cancer, a group ready to help
Lance Armstrong
When I first heard the words "you have cancer," I was shocked and devastated. It was 1996 and I had never won the Tour de France. I didn't even have insurance. I thought I would never ride a bike again � and worse, I thought I could die. That was the first blow. The second blow came when I had to deal with the sea of issues that follow a cancer diagnosis. The mounting bills and paperwork on top of the real fear of dying were overwhelming. It's the same feeling shared by many of the 1.5 million Americans diagnosed each year, 6,000 of them here in Austin.
