Want support? You must ask for it.

Even the biggest advocates you can imagine got started by someone asking them to help.
Scott Case was recently at TEDMED and heard Lance Armstrong speak. Scott told me this story, and it’s worth sharing.
Lance was asked why he committed to dedicate his energy to fighting cancer. He said as he left his treatment on December 13, 1996, his doctor asked him to.
The doctor said: You can stay private or you can lead.
Lance committed to help that day.
As Scott notes: “The rest is amazing outcomes.”
The first step to amazing outcomes is asking someone to say yes.
