How Lance Armstrong increased the popularity of bikes and cycling today
It's been more than 15 years since Lance Armstrong first
received his first two trophies and he's come a long way since
then. Lance Armstrong the cycling extraordinaire with both feet
planted safely and securely on the ground is a powerful figure
on and off the bike. His support for cancer research has only
served to push his fame further as support and respect pours in.
He rules on the bike and with his fight against cancerous cells
in his own body, he shows the world that he rules his life as
well.
Emotional and Physical strength required Lance Armstrong, at the
age of 13, showed his mother that he is gifted on the bike and
almost at the cost of his high school diploma, he pursued a
career as a competitive cyclist relentlessly. And when his
doctor told him that he had cancer, his life was smashed into
smithereens. Although devastated by news of his cancer, his life
took on a new turn and instead of letting his health cripple
him, Lance Armstrong took cancer by the neck and shook it! He
refused to be beaten.
Because of his mental strength, physical prowess and his passion
for living, he has become a role model today, a role model that
many youngsters today look up to and want to be like when they
grow up. He takes it upon himself to help instill the same kind
of strength and competitive spirit in the new generation.
And with his commitment to their mental and physical health,
Lance
Armstrong gives cycling a brand new image.
His support Because he has first-hand experience in fighting
cancer, he's in the position to offer his support for those who
are going through the same tormenting experience. Through the
Lance Armstrong Foundation, he finds support and sponsorship to
make the lives of people going through cancer treatment better.
And because of his mental strength and belief in the sport, he's
gotten Discovery Channel to stand behind him. The Pace Line is a
collaborative website between Discovery Channel, Lance
Armstrong, AMD and a host of other corporate sponsors. The
website delivers news about racing, general news about the
sports, lets members download wallpapers, screensavers, and
inspiring photos of recent races.
Online and Offline Lance Armstrong believes in racing and
cycling so much that he has extended his reach through the
Internet...as can be seen with his various websites. He
fervently works to spread the message of strength and power. He,
Lance Armstrong, has a significantly huge role to play in
increasing the popularity of the sport through his nobleness,
quiet strength and active spreading of the message.
