15 ways to LIVESTRONG with Nike.

On Oct. 2, 1996, Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with advanced testicular cancer. On Jan. 8, 1997, he decided to engage others in his fight against
the disease by starting the Lance Armstrong Foundation. By 1999 he was back on the bike and went on to claim a record seven Tour De France victories
while raising awareness and hope for millions of people whose lives have been impacted by cancer.

Today Lance’s foundation is known the world over as LIVESTRONG. For 28 million people around the world living with cancer today it is a symbol of
inspiration, help and community. Nike is proud to be a long-time supporter of Lance Armstrong and LIVESTRONG.

Nike’s commitment to Lance as an athlete and advocate began in 1995 with the launch of the iconic yellow LIVESTRONG wristband. Our partnership
continues to grow as we work together to help expand his message of hope to LIVESTRONG supporters around the world with the Nike LIVESTRONG
collection.

15 ways to LIVESTRONG:

1. Support LIVESTRONG by purchasing a wristband for $1.
In 2004, Nike launched the LIVESTRONG yellow wristband to help raise awareness and funds for LIVESTRONG. The wristband became a global
phenomenon, with Lance and other athletes, celebrities and individuals from all walks of life joining what LIVESTRONG CEO and President Doug
Ulman calls “the democratization of philanthropy.”

2. Wear the LIVESTRONG Collection.
Nike created the LIVESTRONG collection of training apparel, footwear and accessories in 2008. Rooted in performance and style, the collection has
grown tremendously since the iconic yellow LIVESTRONG wristband debuted in 2004. To date more than 84 million wristbands have been distributed
and $100 million raised for the cause. Nike’s LIVESTRONG collection is available at www.nikestore.com and select retailers around the world.
