Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France for the seventh time. That is a feat not many will repeat after him. His fight against cancer is one of his strong points.
USAToday: "Armstrong, a member of the President's Cancer Panel since 2002, says 'we have the smartest people in the world' working on cures, so his role is to get the funds to keep that research alive.
'Funding is tough to come by these days,' he says. 'The biggest downside to a war in Iraq is what you could do with that money. What does a war in Iraq cost a week? A billion? Maybe a billion a day? The budget for the National Cancer Institute is four billion. That has to change. It needs to become a priority again.
Polls say people are much more afraid of cancer than of a plane flying into their house or a bomb or any other form of terrorism. It is a priority for the American public.'"
Now here is a Texan America can be proud of.
