Olympic Gold and LAF Yellow
In the 100 meters men’s track and field final at the Olympics, Usain Bolt won, broke the world record, and was wearing the yellow wristband. What a message! Four years ago the winner wore the band as well.
This is a global movement. It may have started in Austin with our educational resource called “Livestrong.” It may have been born in combination with Nike when they decided to honor Lance in such a big public way. But clearly now this is a movement. A global one. It means so much to so many. It is about overcoming cancer. It is about overcoming any obstacle in your life. It is about living strong. And it belongs to anyone who wants to own a part. It is therefore not the LAF’s movement. It is not Lance’s movement. It is “our” movement. We all share in the work, the committment and the results we desire. Thanks for being a part of your movement and for letting us be a part of it.”
