Lance Armstrong Foundation
-
The mission of the Lance Armstrong Foundation is to help people manage and survive cancer. Our goal is to change and improve the world for cancer survivors and their loved ones. We want to reduce the presence of cancer on this planet; continue to define, refine and improve cancer survivor services; and facilitate the delivery of those services -- and a large dose of hope -- to the patients, their families and other loved ones touched by the disease. It's a tall order, but an organization that bears the name of the man who came back from cancer to win back-to-back Tour de France victories can aim for nothing less.

Offerings include an interactive Museum exhibit, a natural habitat Zoo and educational programs.
Founded by Josephine O'Hara in 1934, the Junior Museum and Zoo was the first children's museum west of the Mississippi, and has been a local leader in children's science education since its inception. The Zoo opened in 1969. It is now owned and operated by the City of Palo Alto.
