"Now includes new chapter on Tour de France 2000 & Olympics"--Cover.
This is the story of a journey, from inauspicious beginnings through triumph, tragedy, transformation and transcendence. It is the personal story of Lance Armstrong's life so far, from childhood through early success, nearly fatal cancer, recovery, survival, more triumph (victory in the 1999 Tour de France), marriage and first time fatherhood. Filled with the physical, emotional and spiritual details of his recovery, this book traces the remarkable journey of this great athlete to a singularly inspiring appreciation of life lived to the fullest.
In 1996, 24-year-old Lance Armstrong was ranked number one cyclist in the world, but that October, tests revealed that advanced testicular cancer had spread to his lungs and brain. Here he reveals his journey from a 20 per cent chance of survival, to fatherhood and victory in the Tour de France.
