I didn't realise that Austin and Adelaide were sister cities, but they have been since 1983. That must in part explain the support Lance Armstrong has given the Santos Tour Down Under and the wonderful work he has done for South Australians fighting cancer since 2009.
Austin has sister city relationships with 9 other cities around the world. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Mr Armstrong could visit Koblenz, Lima, Oita, Saltillo, Taichung, Old Orlu, Gwangmyeong, Maseru and Xishuangbanna and help strengthen the bond of friendship between those cities and Austin? At the same time he could be raising awareness of cancer in those cities using his legendary spirit, inspiration and determination. Additionally by opening LIVESTRONG branded cycle paths in those cities, Mr Armstrong would be leaving an indelible mark on those cities and would help raise awareness of the huge role that physical activity and exercise play in the prevention of certain types of cancer. Also it would be a great honour for those cities to be forever associated with the invaluable work of LIVESTRONG in yet another celebrated partnership.
