Has anyone seen this:

I think it is an awesome gesture. Not only that, but I hope Lance wins number six this year!

It sure is nice to see an athelete that isn't all about himself, how great he is, etc.

My g/f did volunteer work for the Pediatric Brain Tumor foundation, One 10 yr old girl had a wish to meet Lance Armstrong and get an autograph....Him or his organization didnt even have the courtesy to return the call.

That's too bad. Maybe there was a reason he didn't call- like he gets a thousand requests a day. I won't make excuses for his organization, though. Seems they would have called back, or sent a pic or something. Hope it was an isolated case, he seems so motivated for his cause. Anybody else heard any negative stories about Lance?

Yeaaaah. What a great guy. Has a wife who patiently waits by his side as he is off in wherever for weeks at a time and while he is at death's door. Great kids, never sure if they are going to grow up with a dad or not. And only then does he decide that he might be wasting his life with this loyal woman so he dumps her like a hot rock to fool around with Sheryl Crow. He's a jerk. Who cares what he does in a race if he's such a worthless husband and father? I am sure he's made a lot of people happy......unfortunately none of them is related to him.

Some allegations of steroid use, but hopefully he can prove otherwise - at least through circumstance - maybe.

I think he's a champion, been through alot and came back in full force.

His private-life-made-public is always going to be blown out of proportion. I sure can't judge him.

Hope he tears them up again.

He's cleared himself of the steroid use every time they bring it up. This time, however, I think he is going to sue. I agree with Big Orn about the personal life, though. Remember the saying that there's three side to every story: your side, my side and the truth.

gayford,
You say he's a "jerk" How well do you know him?

Or do you just read the tabloids?

Judgment is something reserved for the bigots, don't you think?

Until you have been through what he has, it is unfair to condemn him.
You need to understand both sides, not what is in the news.

It's called an "opinion" no more wrong or right than the ones you posted. Get it?
Saying that what he has done is great is all reative to your "opinion" of great.
