Livestronger Than Ever

Struggles or difficulties seem to be routine in anyone’s everyday life. Once and awhile there are some cases of these two problems being overcome that have the power to inspire millions to overcome them too. This was exactly what happened to Lance Armstrong. By the time Lance was 25 he was one of the worlds best cyclists, he had already won the Tour Du Pont, and the Tour De France multiple times. At this time he seems to be at the top of his game. This suddenly came to a halt in October 1996 when lance released a statement telling the public that he had testicular cancer, lung cancer, and abdomen cancer. He also later found out he had brain cancer. Lances cancer started as only testicular cancer but when he ignored the signs the cancer spread. Even though he was “knocking on gods door” Lance used his disease to raise cancer awareness starting Livestrong. Lance overcame his cancer to win the Tour De France 7 more times. Lance had his difficulties and his struggles but he turned them around to show there is always hope and to never give up.
