A winner's story

‘Lance Armstrong’s story is the stuff of legends’ - Independent

Lance Armstrong, the winner of ‘Tour the France’. The title reads “it’s not about the bike; My journey back to life”…it says it all.

At 24, he was already on his way to becoming a sporting legend when he was diagnosed with stage four testicular cancer with 40% chances of survival. On that day, his life changed forever. Typical of him, he met the challenge head-on. This was a fight he was determined not to lose.

As he battled against the cancer invading his body and the chemotherapy that threatened to sap his soul, he focused on his training and drew strength from the people around him who never gave up. Just sixteen months after he was discharged from the hospital, he entered the tour, a race famed for its grueling intensity, and won, in the fastest ever time.

It is the story of one man’s emotional battle against the odds, charting his progress through triumph, tragedy and transformation. This is an awe-inspiring tale of immense courage and will.

A wonder read. Highly motivational. His mother's role is highly inspiring.

What did I learn from it?
“Make every obstacle an opportunity.”
…And a winner’s attitude.
