Lance Armstrong Thought the Yellow LIVESTRONG Armbands 'Would Be A Joke'

Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong put aside the difficult year he’s been having to take the stage on Tuesday with the president and CEO of his LIVESTRONG foundation, Doug Ulman, at the second annual Social Good Summit, which wrapped up today in NYC. The two talked about the evolution of LIVESTRONG, which is devoted to improving the lives of people with cancer.

While Armstrong has lived the high-profile life of an internationally-known professional athlete, he didn’t expect the popularity of the yellow LIVESTRONG bracelet. Armstrong said he “originally thought the yellow armbands would be a joke.”
