I'm Cycling To Take Cancer Message Worldwide.

Giving Up Was Never An Option

I Spent A Long Time Trying To Build Up An Organisation [the Lance Armstrong Foundation That Changed Its Name To Livestrong After His Confession] To Help A Lot Of People.

The Way You Live Your Life, The Perspective You Select, Is A Choice You Make Every Single Day When You Wake Up. It's Yours To Decide.

The Truth Is, If You Asked Me To Choose Between Winning The Tour De France And Cancer, I Would Choose Cancer. Odd As It Sounds, I Would Rather Have The Title Of Cancer Survivor Than Winner Of The Tour, Because Of What It Has Done For Me As A Human Being, A Man, A Husband, A Son, And A Father.

Suffering, I Was Beginning To Think, Was Essential To A Good Life, And As Inextricable From Such A Life As Bliss. It’s A Great Enhancer. It Might Last A Minute, But Eventually It Subsides, And When It Does, Something Else Takes Its Place, And Maybe That Thing Is A Great Space. For Happiness. Each Time I Encountered Suffering, I Believed That I Grew, And Further Defined My Capacities – Not Just My Physical Ones, But My Interior Ones As Well, For Contentment, Friendship, Or Any Other Human Experience.
