The Word B

this year more than ever i have been following the tour de france.  specifically, to cheer for lance armstrong.  i find him to be inspirational.  not only as an athlete, but as a cancer survivor.  he and i had the same type of cancer, and his story is in a way similar to mine.  although his cancer was much more severe and i did not have to have brain surgery, we have both survived.  there are hundreds of cancer survivors running around this world, and we all share this is common.  we are all siblings in this common fight against cancer.  so i am following the race as closely as i can, here in australia.  we do not have cable t.v.  so our viewing is limited.  but i am keeping up with events and wanting to see lance armstrong win his 6th straight title.  no one has ever won 6 tours. 
this time last year i was too sick from chemotherapy to be at all concerned with the race.  i was too focused with my own life and my own fight to live.  now i am healthy and healing.  lance armstrong is an attestment to the world.  people can survive cancer and live on to conquer the world, or at least the alps on a bike.
