4 Time Iditarod Winner is Tonsil Cancer Survivor

I read that the Iditarod sled race in Alaska was won a fourth time by the same guy recently, but I just found out today that he (Lance Mackey) is a tonsil cancer survivor too! Simply amazing. Apparently he went through radiation and chemo therapy using Cisplatin and suffered such severe nerve damage in his fingers that he had one amputated. He suffers from the cold like most of us do, but he still has won this thing four times.

That which does not destroy us only makes us stronger.

Way to go Lance!
