This is what I find to be most amaizing about him. Having been around cancer patients, I have experienced first hand the emotional, mental, and overall physical toll that it takes on them. I find it incredible that he has gone on to win 5 consecutive Tour de France races. He is truly a survivor and a source of inspiration to all people and especially those who go through such hard times such as being diagnosed with cancer.

Some people sink into depression, gain weight, loose hope or worse. It is very important for cancer patients to have a motivation in life -- something to live for!! It is very important for them to know that they are worth something even if they are sick, its important that they know they are valued! And it is just as important that they know that there is hope for them and that no matter what are the odds their life has not go on unnoticed, unloved, or unappreciated.

He is truly an example of not giving up even in your hardest times. I have faith that he will win and even if he doesn't he has still done what most of us only dream about -- conquering his fears, surviving the worst, and becomng a hero to himself!!

GOOD LUCK LANCE!!

I have to agree ... Dorienne Plait and I are quite a DUO in CD!!!
