Lance Armstrong... the beginning...
Lance Armstrong began his physical career in Texas at the age of 13, displaying a gift early on for the Iron Kids Triatholon - a sport that included a combination of running, swimming, and biking. Not long after, he became a professional cyclist at the age of 16, training with the US olympic team. In 1996 he was ranked the #1 cyclist in the world by winning the Tour de France.
In October of 1996, Armstrong was diagnosed with testicular cancer which spread to his lungs and brain. Doctors gave him a 50/50 chance of recovery. which spread to his lungs... cancer left him scarred - physically and emotionally ... best thing that ever happened to me " - complete recovery seemed miraculous - won 7 tour de france - You have two options in life to give up or fight like hell Lance Armstrong was one of those people who fought like hell.
Lance Inspired millions of people from all ages young and old. It started with a dream and became the yellow LIVESTRONG wristband. The LIVESTRONG is a global movement and foundation to provide hope , empowerment and taking control of your life and health.
To me this is a strong symbol that gives people hope and inspiration to believe in there own dreams and to take the next step to complete there dreams.
If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, pr fight like hell.- Lance Armstrong
