It's Not About the Bike: Week 2, Post B

Why do bad things happen to good people? It sounds so cliche, yet it rings true again and again throughout our lives. Lance Armstrong was a good, hardworking person who just happened to be struck with a horrible illness. Although diseases don't pick their victoms, they always seem to attack the person who deserves it the least. Why? Sometimes life makes no sense, really. Luckily, Lance was touch enough to be able to fight back and beat the cancer. But not everyone can do that. No one should HAVE to do that. Diseases like cancer just seem to hit those who can't fight back- Those who are too weak, or not willing. It doesn't always strike the weaker, but it does claim thousands per year. Hopefully cancer victoms can see that there are always people behind them to support them. There's always someone to back you up.

Yeah, getting cancer would suck. There's no other way to put it. Stress injuries, bone brakes, and muscle strains are bad, but they are not life threatening.
Maybe Lance survived cancer because he was in great shape when he got it, and continued biking six hours a day even when he had it. Maybe cancer was no match for the physical condition he was in.

Michael you spelled victim wrong.
