Can't think of many cycling Pros who hold down two really difficult jobs simultaneously as well as attempt to balance their family commitments and find some time to reassure their support base, so hats off to you Lance and good luck at the AToC.
cheers,

I'd just like to say that between the video posts and the Twittering, it's been awesome to be able to follow along with LA like this. Thanks for making the effort to do this kind of thing.

We hope to be able to get a glimpse of you tomorrow in Modesto Lance. You have been mine and my husband's inspiration for years. This is the six year anniversary this week of my husband's diagnosis with testicular cancer. He has been cancer free for five years now and want to thank you and you organization for the information and concern that we received he was so sick. We appreciate that one of the nurses that works for Livestrong took the time to call us when we were going this hard time. We look forward to getting a glimpse of your inspirational smile and we will pray for some sun.

Well after a long day the rain in Modesto we got to spend an incredible evening talking with the crew of the team and Lance was gracious enough to take a moment to sign an autograph for my husband on his way to dinner. Lance you have no idea how much this means to my husband and the place of honor the cancer survivor hat with your signature on it will have in our home. Thanks for making our day and good luck with the rest of the race. We will be watching.

Hello Lance I am a nurse in a nursing home and I have a 20 year old kid that was hit by a car while he was riding his bike when he was 11 years old he has been a wheelchair since then. He has a rod in his back that is broken and his doctors dont want to help him get it repaired, he is depressed all the time but he tries so hard to stay upbeat. I think no one wants to help because he is poor and just has medical he has no family and his mom is of no good. Can you tell me where to get help for him. He has been paralyzed since he was 11 years old. I know you can help and I know this by just looking at you.
