What can I say, I'm a fan of Lance. I like it that not only has he excelled what must be one of the difficult feats in the world of sports but I like that he has doen it in spite of cancer. It's only the 4th day of racing in this year's Tour de France but there he is tied for first. I like it. I hope he wins the whole shooting-match. Now that would be a comeback and a half.
As someone who has spent a fair amout of time in hospitals over the years, I appreciate what an inspiration Lance must be for those battling cancer or some other deadful disease. Time and time again I've seen the price that must be paid in order to make it through another day much less come out on top as Lance has done. But I'm also aware and my heart especially goes out to those who work/care/strive/give-everything-they-have only to not have it be enough. Sometimes it isn't about working hard enough, sometimes it's simply not to be.
I don't mean this sound glib because I tremendous respect for the Lance's of the world who work and win but it those who work and lose who I admire even more.
