"I take nothing for granted. I now have only good days or great days." --Lance Armstrong

Lance Armstrong's Newest Challenge

"Myself, my bicycle and my cause." With those words, Lance Armstrong, the greatest cyclist of his generation, announced on Wednesday that he's planning a comeback to competitive bike racing. But the cancer survivor has a greater goal than winning races -- he hopes to use the Livestrong Global Cancer Initiative he's launching to help meet the needs of cancer patients around the world. The campaign, arising from the Lance Armstrong Foundation, will work with local partners, organizations and world leaders to achieve three major goals, according to the campaign's Web site: To end the stigma of cancer and turn cancer victims into cancer survivors.To build an international grassroots movement that will take cancer from isolation to collaboration. To work with world leaders to transform cancer from obscurity to priority.
