In this book, he reveals his journey from a 20% chance of survival, to victory in the 1999 Tour de France. Although scarred physically and emotionally, Armstrong considered his cancer a "wake-up call" - one that crystallized the blessings of good health, family, friends and marriage. Since 1996, he had dedicated himself to fighting cancer and supporting the cancer community, establishing an educational and fund-raising foundation, the Lance Armstrong Foundation, in his hometown of Austin, Texas.
