MARVIN'S STORY
When a pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer diagnosis derailed his endurance running adventures, Marvin gave himself a challenge. "After chemo, I couldn’t get off the couch. I needed a goal to pull me out of that," he remembers. "A changed perspective can help to live with the disease. I thought, How can I balance my life so that it doesn’t take over?"
This summer, Marvin will take on the Leadville Trail 100 mountain bike ride through the Rockies with the Livestrong team. "If I can’t go fast, I can go long," he says. "I will give it everything I have to get there!"

LIVESTRONG TAKES NYC
Livestrong cyclists rode 40 miles through the five boroughs of New York City in the TD Five Boro Bike Tour! Our team included two cancer survivors, Heather and Phil.

THANK YOU, NURSES
In honor of National Nurses Week (May 6th-12th), the Livestrong team delivered gift baskets to nurses at cancer centers in our area, including the Livestrong Cancer Institutes of Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin, to show our appreciation for all they do. But the appreciation doesn't have to stop after one week in May—thank a nurse today!
