Lance Armstrong, who recently announced he is returning to competitive cycling, said he hopes to use the Livestrong Global Cancer Initiative he’s launching to help meet the needs of cancer patients. The campaign plans to work with local partners, organizations and world leaders to end the stigma of cancer and turn cancer victims into cancer survivors.

"We have the information, technology and medicine to save lives, and it is a moral and ethical failure not to do so,” Armstrong said recently at a news conference in New York.

To meet those goals, Armstrong said the campaign would focus on bike races in countries where work is needed to better the health of people with cancer, and whose governments and organizations are committed to improvements in health initiatives for cancer patients.
