'Stay positive about health'

2006-01-18 10:52

Johannesburg - The fight against cancer is the most important thing in Lance Armstrong's life.

The legendary seven times winner of the Tour de France said on Wednesday if he had to choose between his personal battle with cancer, and winning the Tour de France, he would choose cancer.

"Without the illness I would never have been forced to re-evaluate my life and my career," he said.

Cancer put a whole new perspective on everything.

"I know if I had not had cancer, I would not have won the Tour De France."

Armstrong is in South Africa on a brief visit to support Adcock Ingram's Unite 4 Health campaign which is a health and lifestyle programme aimed at disadvantaged communities.

"My main message to South Africans is to maintain a positive attitude towards your health," said Armstrong.

He declined to say when he and rock singer Sheryl Crowe planned to marry.

"Planning a wedding is not easy," he said.

"Sheryl's a very busy person and there are all sorts of things that go into planning a wedding."

Crowe did not accompany Armstrong on his visit.
