Salt Lake City-Lance Armstrong Dies at the Age of 36
A survivor of cancer that spread to his brain and a seven time Tour De France Champion. ‘Live Strong’ became a saving phrase for so many. Tour De France altered the race course seven different times, a small attempt to provide a chance for another champion (according to www.lancearmstrong.com). Lance blew us all away with his willingness and determination to keep going no matter what. Regardless of the constant drug testing during his career, he was able to keep a level head and come back year after year and amaze us all.
While attempting to break the Land Speed Record in the Bonneville Salt Flats in Salt Lake City, Utah, Lance Armstrong regretfully passed away on October 3, 2007. The exact cause of his death is unknown at this time. It is under investigation that is taking place at the University of Utah Medical Center.
Lance is survived by his mother, Linda Armstrong. His ex-wife and mother of their children, Kristen. His oldest child Luke, and twin daughters Isabelle and Grace.
Funeral services will be held in Austin, Texas on October 9, 2007 at the McDougal Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, donations are being accepted at America First Credit Union, all proceeds will go to the Live Strong Foundation

I didn't even know he was sick.
Cycling has lost a hero.
um, other than people not noticing that it says PRACTICE.... I guess you did a great job, cause they think it's real...LOL!!!
I thought that you did a really great job. You kept it short and kept me interested but were still able to get all of the information that we needed to know in.
Good work, I wanted to read a little more about his accomplishments, but you got all of the most important information in there.
You did a really good job explaining the details of his death.
This was really good. You gave us all of the information and spread out a lot of the highlighted points of his career. good job.
Good job. The only thing I would change is to say the cause of death at the very beginning. I think you did a good job of keeping it short and highlighting the important parts.
Waiting for more stories. Please post. Anyone heard of the funeral arrangements for Lance?????
