To Lance

To Lance Armstrong,

I didn't know where to send this, or even if it will get to you.
But its important to me that i write it...

I don’t know Cancer…
I don’t know that battle and what comes physically aft… 
god willing I will never know…
I've seen the broken hearts after
I've seen the grief
I've held the suffering and prayed for their families

do I believe you cheated, do I believe that you swallowed the magic pill to make you a champ?

I believe, that you made me believe,
that you danced on your peddles and asked and persuaded an entire community,
 be them riddled with cancer or touched by such, to not give up to try, to be strong, to do 
what it takes…. 

I am inspired by a flat lander, accused as a cheat in the sport I love. 

I will tell you this, that in the grander scheme of things… 
I would stand next to you 
will stand next to you

as you Sir 
have done a greater good than any bad

you have raised people above their illness, above a sickness, above doubt. 

and I hope in the darkest parts of your night you know that we all have to dance through the insanity, 
but for some, you have given a path and in that path… you have given light. 

and for that i hope you find your path...

I hope the band of yellow survivors you have challenged and gave hope to, relive and tell that story... because of you they have found their strength. 

God Bless and Livestrong
