On July 21, 2011, Our own LIVESTRONG Leader, Rica Mendes, declared war against  her own cancer after being diagnosed with breast cancer...

" We believe in life.
Your life.
We believe in living every minute of it with every ounce of your being.
And that you must not let cancer take control of it.
We believe in energy: channeled and fierce.
We believe in focus: getting smart and living strong.
Unity is strength. Knowledge is power. Attitude is everything.
This is LIVESTRONG."
