A person who is, without a doubt, the prime example of this truth is none other than cycling legend Lance Armstrong. In 1996, Armstrong was diagnosed with testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs, abdomen, and brain. Doctors told him he had less than a 50% chance of survival. At this point in his career Armstrong had not won the Tour de France (the holy grail of cycling) but had won various stages. Unbelievably, Armstrong made a full recovery and went on to win a record seven Tours, and dominated the sport until his recent retirement, but his story does not end here. Back in 2004 Armstrong started the Lance Armstrong Cancer Foundation, raising money by selling elastic yellow wrist bands with the engraved message "Live Strong" to raise awareness. Despite only being founded three years ago, the foundation has raised over $15 million, and sold over 55 million "Live Strong" wristbands world
