In 1996, as one of the top ranked cyclists in the world, Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with advanced testicular cancer. With the help of his medical team, family and friends, Armstrong recovered and went on to win the Tour de France a record seven consecutive times, from 1999 to 2005.
Armstrong founded The Lance Armstrong Foundation after his diagnosis. The LAF became LIVESTRONG and to date, it has raised more than $500 million for the fight against cancer. He has five children and splits his time between Austin, Texas and Aspen, Colorado. Armstrong is the founder and managing partner of Next Ventures. NEXT VENTURES is a new venture capital firm designed to maximize growth opportunities in the exploding sports, fitness, nutrition and wellness markets. He currently hosts two podcasts, The Forward, a weekly interview discussion with authors, musicians, athletes and politicians. As well as THE MOVE, a cycling focused show.
