Lance Armstrong
Seven time Tour de France champion and cancer survivor

Not only did his cycling career seem over, but his doctors game him a 50/50 chance to survive.

The Lance Armstrong Foundation disseminates grants focused on improving the quality of life for cancer survivors and funds research that is not readily fundable from traditional sources. Since its inception, the foundation has awarded more than $9.6 million in research grants. It focuses its funding on cancer survivorship centers and research grants.
