RadioShack has established a special partnership with LIVESTRONG (The Lance Armstrong Foundation) in support of its global mission
to improve wellness and fight cancer.
LIVESTRONG fights for the 28 million people worldwide
who live with cancer today. The foundation's mission is simply
to inspire and empower people who are affected by cancer, whether
they are survivors, friends or family members. RadioShack supports
that mission through fundraising, building awareness and facilitating
advocacy through its network of 6,000 stores, 35,000 employees
and connections with 30 million customers each year.
Cancer
affects nearly every person on the planet. Each year, more than
12 million people worldwide are diagnosed with cancer and 8 million
people will die from the disease. There can be — and should be
— life after cancer for more people. For many people living
with cancer, LIVESTRONG represents hope, courage and
perseverance, inspired by founder and chairman, Lance Armstrong,
the seven-time winner of the Tour de France.
LIVESTRONG believes unity is strength, knowledge
is power and attitude is everything. The foundation kicks in at
the moment of diagnosis, giving people the resources and support
they need to fight cancer head-on. LIVESTRONG finds
innovative ways to raise awareness, fund research and end the stigma
about cancer faced by many survivors.
Through its vast grassroots network, LIVESTRONG specializes
in connecting people and communities to drive social change, which
includes advocating for local, state, national and world leaders
to help fight this disease.
