I think those of us inside the cycling community sometimes don't understand Lance's impact on the cancer world. My parents certainly don't cycle but they were glued to the TdF. He is a household name because of his cancer survival followed up with the TdF wins and then his efforts for patients and families.

My dad is an avid NBA fan. When I watch games with him I'm always amazed at the number of yellow bands (though I haven't watched this year). It reminds me of Lance's scope of influence.
