Livestrong.com was created as a spin-off of the Livestrong Foundation, founded by Lance Armstrong and Doug Ulman, to spread cancer awareness and help people maintain healthy lifestyles. It targets ages 25-54, especially women and high-income individuals. The site provides tools like MyPlate for tracking food/fitness, Stronger for meal/exercise plans, and apps to help quit smoking or track runs. Livestrong.com's initial goal was to raise global cancer awareness and fund the nonprofit Foundation through donations and social media efforts directed by Doug Ulman. It derives revenue from ads and subscriptions while contributing millions to the Foundation's mission of aiding cancer patients.
