The way you live your life, the perspective you select, is a choice you make every single day when you wake up. It's yours to decide.

We each cope differently with the specter of our deaths. Some people deny it. Some pray. Some numb themselves with tequila. I was tempted to do a little of each of those things. But I think we are supposed to try to face it straightforwardly, armed with nothing but courage.

So if there is a purpose to the suffering that is cancer, I think it must be this: it's meant to improve us.

Hey. Pain can last a moment, it can last a day, it can last a week, it can last a long..long time, but it can't last forever and the only thing that can last forever is if you quit.

I'm cycling to take cancer message worldwide.

It can't be any simpler: the farewell is going to be on the Champs-Elysees.

I raced because I was paid to do a job and I felt like I had to do the job. Number two: I raced because I loved the process, I loved training, getting ready for the race, I loved all of that. And number three I raced for my memories. Regardless of what somebody wants to give or take away, you can't take my memories.
