From the Tour de France to the Boardroom: Pushing Your Team to Victory


Speaker Information

National and world champion cyclist, two time Olympian, renowned humanitarian, role model, cancer survivor, and now 7-time winner of the Tour De France, Lance Armstrong is clearly one of the most celebrated and charismatic contributors to the sport of cycling. Just one year after celebrating his victory over cancer and his official return to U.S. cycling, he made world headlines in Paris on July 25, 1999, with the most stunning comeback ever in the history of sport, winning the Tour De France by over 7 minutes. It was a tremendous victory not only for Armstrong, but for cancer survivors around the world. And the personal side of this resounding triumph brought Armstrong's life and career full circle.

Since his own diagnosis and successful battle overcoming testicular cancer, Armstrong has heeded the call to activism by becoming a spokesperson for testicular and other forms of cancer. Within months of his diagnosis, he formed the Lance Armstrong Foundation, an international, non-profit Foundation established initially to benefit cancer research and promote urologic cancer awareness and the importance of early detection. Its focus now is on being the world leader in the concept of "Cancer Survivorship," helping people manage and survive cancer.

Armstrong's autobiography, It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life, was released in 2001, and a motion picture of his life story is currently in development. What is undeniable, however, is that Armstrong has already won the most important race of his life. Perhaps the words that capture his indomitable spirit the best are his own: "It's ironic, I used to ride my bike to make a living. Now I just want to live so that I can ride."
