Armstrong takes cancer fight into presidential spotlight

Lance Armstrong, one of the fiercest proponents of cancer research and the all-time leading winner of the Tour de France biking event, will be hosting presidential candidate forums on cancer next month in Iowa.
Armstrong says that he wants the U.S. presidential candidates to "
discuss the #1 killer in this country," and if anyone can stir up deep thoughts on the fight against all types of cancer, it would be Armstrong.
This quote says it all: "I think whoever wants to be commander in chief ought to answer the cancer question." That's quite prophetic, and with five acceptances so far from both the Democratic and Republican side, next month's open forum on cancer should prove interesting. I'll be watching, that's for sure.
