Welcome to the Team Rigel Blog

Here, we will chronicle Team Rigel's members as they prepare for, fund raise for, and participate in the LIVESTRONG Challenge in Portland, Oregon on September 29-30, 2007. As many of you may know, my father recently lost his battle with cancer and several other members of our family have been touched by the disease. When I heard about the LIVESTRONG Challenge, which benefits the Lance Armstrong Foundation, I knew I had to participate.

More than 1.3 million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer this year alone. Three out of four families in America will be faced with caring for a family member with cancer. We are one of those families. Team Rigel's goal is to raise at least $5,000 for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. It's a big goal, one that we will need the support of people like you to achieve.

If you have been affected by cancer, or you care about this cause, please consider donating toward Team Rigel's fundraising goal. You can make a donation online by clicking on any of the Team Rigel members' fundraising links to the right. We also welcome you to join us on our team and participate in the LIVESTRONG Challenge.

Thank you in advance for your support. Together, we can make a difference.
