Summary

This is the story of the Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year's journey through triumph, tragedy, transformation, and transcendance. It is the story of Lance Armstrong, the world-famous cyclist, and his fight against cancer. Peoplemagazine called it "inspiring." The New York Timescalled it "fascinating." But perhaps Cincinnati Enquirersaid it best: "It's not about the bike, or about the sport. It's about the soul."

Author Biography

Lance Armstrong established the Lance Armstrong Foundation in 1996 to aid the fight against cancer.

Sally Jenkins authored Men Will Be Boys, and co-authored Reach for the Summit and Raise the Roof (both with Pat Summit), A Coach's Life (with Dean Smith), Funny Cide (with the Funny Cide team), and No Finish Line (with Marla Runyan). She's also written for Sports Illustrated, Women's Sports & Fitness, and Washington Post.
