the beginning

Last year we decided to do the LIVESTRONG Challenge 40-mile ride together. We trained for months and raised money and rode our bikes 40 miles, and we had so much fun that we’re back in 2007. Except this year, we signed up for the 70-mile ride!

Right up front, let’s just put everything out on the table. We both work for the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which puts on the LIVESTRONG Challenge. Jennifer works in Marketing and oversees marketing and public relations support of the LAF’s programmatic initiatives. Lauren is part of the Advocacy team, where she serves as the liaison for advocates interested in becoming more involved in LAF grassroots advocacy initiatives and events.

We are participating in the LIVESTRONG Challenge not as LAF employees, but as two friends trying something new together. And we are excited to write this blog together, too – something else neither of us has ever done before.

Check back to read about our training and fundraising leading up to the LIVESTRONG Challenge. This is going to be fun!
