almost at the cost of his high school diploma, he pursued a

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.

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.

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.
