Lance Armstrong, seven-time Tour de France champion and cancer survivor, recently issued an open letter to US President-elect Barack Obama. In it, he outlined the problems faced by the American cancer community and how Obama, in his presidency, can help solve them. Armstrong's request will definitely resonate with much of America and the rest of the world – in America alone, he claims, 1,500 people die from the disease each day.
