At age 25, Lance Armstrong was one of the world's best cyclists. He proved it by winning the World Championships, the Tour Du Pont, and multiple Tour de France stages. Lance Armstrong seemed invincible2 and the future ahead was bright indeed. Then they told him he had cancer.他，历尽磨难，在25岁时，终于成为世界最棒的自行车手，可不久就被告知患上了睾丸癌；他，意志坚定，直面生活，最后不但战胜病魔，还创造了六次环法冠军的奇迹；他，就是当代美国人的精神领袖美国自行车神话人物兰斯阿姆斯特朗
Next to the challenge he now faced, bike racing3 seemed insignificant4. The diagnosis5 was testicular cancer, the most common cancer in men aged6 15-35. If detected early, its cure rate is a promising7 90%. Like most young, healthy men, Lance ignored the warning signs, and never imagined the seriousness of his condition. Going untreated, the cancer had spread to Lance's abdomen8, lungs, and brain. His chances dimmed.
Then, with a combination of physical conditioning and a strong support system Lance's competitive spirit took over. He declared himself not a cancer victim but a cancer survivor9, hell bent10 on living strong. He took an active role in educating himself about his disease and the treatment. Armed with knowledge and confidence in medicine, he underwent aggressive treatment and beat the disease.
During treatment, before his recovery, before he even knew his own fate, he created the Lance Armstrong Foundation. This marked the beginning of Lance Armstrong's life as a leader for cancer survivors11 and a world representative for the cancer community.
Although Lance Armstrong's victories in the 1999-2003 Tours de France are sweet, the battle against cancer has just begun-not just for him, but for all cancer survivors and people just like him who think cancer could not affect them. Lance Armstrong plans to lead this fight, and he hopes that you join him. This is a life he owes to cancer. This is a choice to live strong.
