Balls On The Wall

Lance Armstrong was in Seattle this morning at a prostate cancer survivor's benefit breakfast hosted by Steve Fleischmann. The event was well attended and jammed the grand ballroom at the Seattle Sheraton. Steve Raible was the host, Steve Fleischmann made some touching remarks about his personal bout with cancer, and Lance was very effective in his new role of championing increased funding for cancer research. I sat at a table with people I had not met, and didn't know when I left, but all had a good time. It was too expensive for me, but I know Steve so I impulsively decided to attend.....particularly since Lance has turned me into such a fan of the Tour De France. Lots of women in the audience, and Lance paid respect to women being honest about breast cancer as paving the road for men to talk openly about testicular or prostrate cancer.
