Lance Armstrong

I chose Lance Armstrong as the most influential person that time could muster up. Not only is he working hard to help aid those in need who have been affected by cancer but he is also a motivating story in and of himself. He had cancer three times lost one of his very precious jewels and still kept fighting back. Not only did he beat cancer he beat out the competition in a number of bike races: Most noticably the Tour De France, which is said to be the most grueling race on the planet. Through his amazing recovery and his inspiring story Lance Armstrong has greatly inspired many (not just those with cancer) to overcome the obstacles that they feel they just cant get past. And his help in cancer research and giving back to those who have given back so much is yet again inspiring. I cannot think of a better word than that. The mans remarkable story and self sacrifice has helped to push people beyond what most would consider a motivating fact to live and now a motivating factor to live and succeed. If I had one word to describe Lance Armstrong it would be just that: Inspiring.
