I owe my life to my vast array of friends and teammates. Whether it be his lifelong agent, Bill Stapleton, who stuck with me through cancer and even when I temporarily quit, or my teammates on the US Postal Team, whose to give me an opportunity to win I will always remember. I also would like to shout out Dr. Scott Shapiro, whose genius skills allowed me to live against all odds. Without these key people and many more, I would never be the person that I am today.

Of all the things that I could have done with my plethora of winnings, my favorite has to be my red Porsche. Admittedly, I do like to put the pedal to the metal, and the Porsche is perfect for flying along the barren Texas roads. I bought it shortly after turning pro, and I still have it in the garage today.

Throughout my life I have been blessed to always have someone there to help me. As a kid I could count on my mom to come home each and every day, and even if she was exhausted to the bone, she would somehow throw together a delicious meal from the little we had. Later in life, I was supported through my cancer treatments by my loving wife Kristin, who stuck with me through it all. And together we had our son Luke, who is the new love of my life.

The biggest moment of my life had to be as I triumphantly crossed the finish line of the Tour de France first, winning the most prestigious cycling event in the world. I remember clear as day, and it comes back to me every time I see my trophy.

Here I am, during my third and final dose of Chemotherapy, wondering if I would miracuously live when my survival odds were as little as 3%.

As a kid my life changed forever when my dad left the family. From then on, it was just my mom and I to make ends meet in a tough Texas city. At first I felt lost and disconnected, but everything changed when I saw this one sign.
