Seven time Tour de France winner and cancer survivor

Born September 18, 1971, Lance Armstrong was raised by his mother Linda, a single parent, in their hometown of Plano, Texas. In October 1996 Armstrong was diagnosed with advanced testicular cancer. Describing his bout with the disease as "a special wake-up call," Armstrong became a spokesperson for testicular and other forms of cancer and founded the Lance Armstrong Foundation—a non profit organization established to benefit cancer research, awareness and early detection. In 1997 he was declared cancer-free. He celebrated his victory over cancer and his "official" return to U.S. cycling by winning the Spring 56K Criterium in the streets of downtown Austin, part of the Ride for the Roses, a weekend of cycling and celebration benefiting the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Lance Armstrong has won seven Tour de France victories. He was named Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year in 2002.
