Not only is Lance Armstrong posting to Twitter from the race, but a Chalkbot — a robot that writes in water-soluble paint — is scribing messages onto the road, offering inspiration to the competitors and to cancer survivors.

The Chalkbot takes input from text messages and Twitter posts sent by the public. The robot, a tractor-like device that’s pulled around by a truck, then paints those messages in large yellow letters along the Tour de France course.

The letters face the riders so they can read them on their journey during the grueling annual race, which ends July 26 in Paris.

Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. It offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.

Relay For Life is a life-changing event that brings together more than 3.5 million people to:

* Celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer. The strength of survivors inspires others to continue to fight.
* Remember loved ones lost to the disease. At Relay, people who have walked alongside people battling cancer can grieve and find healing.
* Fight Back. We Relay because we have been touched by cancer and desperately want to put an end to the disease.

Relay for Life is a unique celebration of cancer survivorship and remembrance of those who have been lost. Relays are overnight events where teams of volunteers camp out at a local high school, park or fairground and take turns walking around a track or path, keeping one member of their team on the track at all times.

The event begins with a Survivors Lap where cancer survivors take a victory lap around the track, and later in the evening a candlelight ceremony is held to honor cancer survivors and remember those who’ve been lost to the disease.

Nationwide, Relay for Life brings together more than 3.5 million people from all walks of life to raise money and raise awareness of cancer prevention and treatment. The funds raised at Relay events fund cancer research, advocacy efforts, early detection and prevention education, and patient services.

The All Are Our Heroes song project supports Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society with a message of faith, hope and encouragement. Add your voice to the effort! Click here to make a donation to Relay to Life.
