Claudio Battaglini's Personal Page
I am from Brazil. I was born in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. My family still lives in Brasilia, with the exception on my young brother Lutti, who lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota. My wife's side of the family resides in Colorado. Below are a few pictures of Brasilia.
Brasilia, is the capital that was created in the center of the country in 1956, and was a landmark in the history of town planning. Urban planner Lucio Costa and architect Oscar Niemeyer intended that every element – from the layout of the residential and administrative districts (often compared to the shape of a bird in flight or an airplane) to the symmetry of the buildings themselves – should be in harmony with the city's overall design. Its population is about 1,750,000 inhabitants.
The Manifesto of the Lance Armstrong Foundation
We believe in life.
Your life.
And that you must not let cancer take control of it.
We believe in your right to live without pain and, if it comes to it, your right
to die with dignity.
We believe in energy: channeled and fierce.
We believe in focus: getting smart and living strong.
Because we’re passionate about helping you live every minute of your life with
every ounce of your being.
We know you don’t need pity.
You need information. Fast.
We kick in the moment you get the news that changes your life.
With the hard, the practical, the pragmatic.
Information is power.
Knowledge is strength.
This is the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
We’re about the hard stuff.
Like knowing the first doctor you talk to is not God.
Like finding the nerve and getting the number to get a second opinion.
And a third or even a fourth, if that’s what it takes.
It’s about finding out about clinical trials.
It’s your life.
You will have it your way.
We’re about practical stuff.
Like planning for surviving.
Banking a man’s sperm. Preserving a women’s fertility.
Fighting depression. Accepting tears and acknowledging rage.
It’s talking openly about the big “C”. With husbands, wives, and partners; kids,
friends, and neighbors; the people you live with, work with, cry and laugh with.
It’s organizing your finances.
It’s dealing with hospitals, specialists and insurance companies.
It’s knowing your rights when you talk to your employer.
It’s your life.
Take no prisoners.
We’re also about the practical issues of life after treatment.
Cancer may leave your body, but it never leaves your life.
We’re your champion on Capitol Hill. Your advocate in the back halls of the
healthcare system and your sponsor in the research labs.
When you’re cancer-free, the fight has only just begun.
This is the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
Founded and inspired by one of the toughest survivors on the planet.
Live Strong.
