CURE AND THE LANCE ARMSTRONG FOUNDATION TEAM UP FOR SPECIAL SURVIVORS ISSUE

DALLAS, Texas - August 18, 2006 - It's a new era for today's more than 10 million cancer survivors. No longer do they sit in the background content to put their cancer experience behind them. Instead, survivors are advocating for themselves and others like them. To address the needs of this growing population, CURE and the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) partnered for an exclusive issue of CURE dedicated solely to cancer survivorship.

The special issue, which is available now to subscribers and for purchase at www.curetoday.com, features a cover story on world-renowned cyclist and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong and what's next for him. A profile detailing the philanthropy of golf hero and prostate cancer survivor Arnold Palmer proves his legacy goes beyond the golf course. "In this issue, we wanted to feature a diverse group, from the everyday survivor in small-town America to the most famous cancer survivor in the world," said managing editor Melissa Weber. "Our special issue is about the people and the issues they face with the goal of creating empowered decision-makers who more fully understand the issues and emotions that arise from the moment of diagnosis."

The special issue will take readers to the heart and soul of the cancer experience with powerful, in-depth writing about topics like genetic testing, long-term treatment effects and spiritual healing. Stories like those of Zora Brown, a breast and ovarian cancer survivor and advocate who founded an organization that addresses the needs of African-American women with breast cancer, and Dr. Wendy Harpham, a physician who has lived through seven cancer recurrences, make this Special Survivors Issue the essential guide to staying informed on the medical and practical issues emerging daily for cancer survivors.

"The Lance Armstrong Foundation is thrilled to partner with CURE to develop a special issue focused on survivorship," said Mitch Stoller, president and chief executive officer of the LAF. "The issue captures the spirit of the Foundation's mission to inspire and empower people affected by cancer, and I hope CURE readers find the content interesting and useful."

Readers will be informed and inspired, resulting in empowered decision-makers who more fully understand the issues and emotions that arise from the moment of diagnosis-and feel more fully the realities of being a cancer survivor. It's the issue that addresses becoming whole again after treatment ends.
