Lance Armstrong has had many contributions in his lifetime. The two major contributions that we want to talk about is his recent ride in the Tour of Hope and his cancer foundation called the Cycle of Hope.
Tour
of Hope
Lance
lead the tour of hope cycling race on October 11, 2003. The race
started in Los Angeles and extended 3,200 miles across the United States.
Lance wanted to do this so that he could show his support to the cancer
community. He teamed up with Bristol-Myers Squibb, which was the
company that provided Lance with the medicine that helped him overcome
his cancer.
Cycle
of Hope
The
cycle of hope is a foundation that was started by Lance Armstrong to help
people who have cancer and their families. This foundation helps
to fund scientific research to better detect and, eventually cure cancer.
He has also teamed up with Bristol-Myers Squibb to help educate people
on the importance of early cancer detection, how to get proper treatment,
and of course hope.
