How much fun would this be? To be able to donate money to Haiti and have former President Clinton be your messenger boy.

Livestrong, Lance Armstrong’s non-profit organization that is mostly used for cancer research, donated a hefty sum of $250,000.00 for the Haitian relief effort. (donated to Partners in Health and Doctors Without Borders)

The former President will be bringing the donation with him as he is heading to Haiti anyways.

Hey, Bill, can you pick up a loaf of bread and some milk since you’re out anyways, too?

Cycling legend, Lance Armstrong, sent out a Christmas photo of his family over his twitter account.

Happy Holidays from us to you. Couldn’t mail out 2.3 million cards so here’s an e version. 2010 here we come!!

Lance is currently on a little Hawaiian vay-cay with the family, but he’s training while he’s there.

Seven time Tour De France winner Lance Armstrong took to the Daily Show to promote his newest book Comeback 2.0 about his return to racing, and to promote his new team with Radio Shack.

He talks what it takes to win as “the old guy”, his former team mate Contador on Astana, and getting back into shape.

This man is an animal.

The Livestrong Army has hit NYC this weekend for the New York Marathon. No word really, if Lance Armstrong will be running again this year, though. But judging by his late night party going last night (Friday, October 30) I’d say it’s not that likely.

Lance’s BFF Matthew McConaughey has also been spotted in NYC this week. I wonder if the two Texans will be hooking horns at some point.

I wouldn’t count on any Lance and former fling, Kate Hudson sightings though. I’m just sayin’.

BTW I highly suggest that if you want to follow Lance, livestrong and livestrong’s CEO you get yourself a twitter account. They have been sending photos of their hotel rooms, as well as meetings that have been happening since they touched down in NYC.

But this is all just so mundane for cyclist Lance Armstrong. He now has his sights set on the big prize. Ironman Kona! And not just FINISHING the Ironman, Lance wants to win. And not his age division. THE WHOLE THING!

“2011, [Lance Armstrong] will be here. He’s super psyched and I think he wants to do more than win his age group,” said Carmichael, who is in Hawaii to observe the 2010 World Championships, taking place on Saturday.

This isn’t so new to Lance. Before he was a cyclist, he competed in sprint distance triathlons.

Is there anything he won’t do?

Got to love that he has a sense of humor.

You may not know it, but cyclist Lance Armstrong is the face of LIVESTRONG, the cancer education/research/awareness nonprofit. Lance is asking all of us that are inspired to  fight the scourge of cancer to post WHO inspired us to fight.

GO TO the LIVESTRONG WEBSITE , and make a dedication page.

It’s super easy, even a bee can do it, and you know what? I did.

LIVESTRONG!

If you have been following the Tour de France this year, you already know, but I’m going to tell you anyways. The seven time Tour de France winner, Lance Armstrong has already made it known that he would not be returning to team Astana, and now has announced his own team.

Team Radio Shack! Go here

Expect a few things from team Radio Shack. Foremost, Joahn Bruyneel will run the team. Next, the riders will be in Nike clothes. Nike manufactures most of Armstrong’s Livestrong brand. Last, Texas in the house! Radio Shack is based in Texas, and Armstrong is very proud of his Texas roots.

I would also expect Levi Leipheimer to be joining the team!

I can’t wait!

THIS SUCKS!  Ok now I have that out of the way.

Astana rider, Levi Leipheimer has broken the scaphoid in his right wrist in yesterday’s ride.  So he was out of the Tour de France as of today.

I found this out at about 3 AM this morning (yes I was awake), on Twitter.  Yes twitter.  Astana, Lance Armstrong, Levi Leipheimer, Johan Bruyneel, Team Columbia’s George Hincapie, and even Astana’s chef Duffy, all sent messages out at about the same time.

At least we got some cool pics of his surgery.  They didn’t waste any time getting him in that’s for sure.

It’s just such a bummer.  He more than likely would have taken a podium at the end of the race.

Video of Levi, Lance and Johan Bruyneel at the JUMP! Try not to be distracted by the Bordello that they’re staying in.
