Give 100% this holiday season!

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Nike and Lance Armstrong partnered on a LIVESTRONG Collection holiday gift guide that allows holiday shoppers to support the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) and the ongoing battle to overcome cancer.

The collection includes running and training footwear, apparel, and accessories, and 100% of Nike’s profits from the collection go to the LAF. Nike and Lance have united with LAF supporters Evan Handler, Ben Harper, Elle Fanning, Susan Sarandon, Forrest Whitaker, Lisa Leslie, Hillary Duff, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Dana Delany, Masi Oka, Mark Parker and Robin Roberts, all of whom appear in the gift guide.

As part of the Give 100% promotion, Nike is sponsoring a contest where you can help us identify someone in your life who consistently gives 100%. Whether it’s fundraising, fighting cancer, or being an advocate in the community, tell us about that person for their chance to spend a day with one of the remarkable individuals listed above. (You can read all the rules here.) You can also see some exclusive videos from the photo shoot.

So, tell us about someone you know who Gives 100%! And don’t forget to browse the LIVESTRONG Collection – 100% of the profits go straight to the LAF.

Five Strong Members - Week #1

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

As a brand new feature that dovetails nicely with our intermittent “Meet the Staff” feature that launched Monday, each week we’re going to highlight five strong members from the LIVESTRONG.COM community. Strong community members are those who give back to the site, inspire others, or simply somehow make a difference to others here.

1. First up today is our YouTube contest winner, Zach! Zach’s story inspired thousands of you, and he’s truly an embodiment of what LIVESTRONG.COM is all about. Congratulations, Zach!

2. There’s no way we could start our first edition of “Five Strong Members” without mentioning Lonnie. He’s one of our longest-serving volunteer Moderators, and he is an invaluable resource to all of us behind-the-scenes here at LIVESTRONG.COM. Lonnie is the curator of several popular groups, and active in many more — you can see the full list in his profile. He answers every private message he receives on the site, happy to offer advice, help you learn to use the site to its full potential, or answer any other questions that come in. He’s in frequent content with us staffers as well, relaying urgent issues or making brilliant suggestions. And of course, you can find him pretty much every day on our forums. When you run a community-centric site like ours, you hope that you’ll score someone as devoted as Lonnie is, but you never dream it’s really possible. We love Lonnie, and sing his praises daily. 

3. Another power user is draca. She tracks every day, and she maintains a Food Diary as well. Her profile is filled with articles she’s found interesting, her fascinating “About Me” section, and more. Like most of the others on this list, she’s super active on the forums as well.

4. Next up is choseck. She’s been a member since May, and she’s as active as ever today. She’s tracking what she eats with The Daily Plate, and she’s very active on the forums.

5. And finally, there’s dandv. He’s a relatively new member, but he’s already dived in with so much feedback and become so engaging on the forums — that he’s become our newest Moderator on the site. Congrats, and welcome, Dan!
