I really enjoy the Tour de France, and I admire Lance Armstrong.
He’s certainly made his share of mistakes, but I’m not looking to him for personal advice or spiritual guidance. I admire his guts, determination, and drive. He beat a horrible disease and used the experience to inspire thousands of others. Regardless of failures and faults, that’s not a bad legacy. When I hear someone question his comeback, I want to ask what they’ve done to make the world better.
He’s a hero, no matter what else happens. If he never wins anither bike race, it doesn’t matter.
This video nearly brings tears each time I watch it.
