Live Strong
Legendary cyclist Lance Armstrong led a rally of cancer survivors clamoring for a passage of cancer-screening legislation in Upper Senate Park on Wednesday.
The 200 survivors from around the country, clad in yellow shirts, serenaded Lance with a chant of “Live Strong!” as he made his entrance.
Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, said Armstrong has gone from a “national hero” to a “national treasure.”
Tuesday night after Armstrong hosted a reception for survivors at the ESPN Zone, chef Brian McBride prepared Armstrong and six guests a special menu at the chef’s table at Blue Duck Tavern at the Park Hyatt.
One source told us, “He gave me the man-to-man nod on his way out (my way in) to the bathroom, with a little ‘Hey, man.’ I was over the moon, though I don’t think [my girlfriend] was thrilled I spent the remainder of our date discussing my love of a man and his bike.”
