How it All Happened
As fitness coach for the TLC Fit program and passionate champion of the TLC mission, Mary boldly challenged Lance Armstrong via Twitter to the “Duel in the Pool”. Reflecting his own passion as a cancer warrior, he accepted Mary’s challenge! The Duel was on!
In the spirit of community collaboration, a mutually beneficial partnership between the University of Buffalo, Roswell Park Cancer Institute and Melissa’s Living Legacy Teen Cancer Foundation was formed to make Armstrong’s appearance in Buffalo a triumph for all.
