poignant moment

As you know, I'm a keen cyclist ...

I'm sure you all know who Lance Armstrong is - 7 times consecutive winner of the Tour de France. And I'm sure you all have seen him on TV, or in the news, in his cycling gear. And I'm sure you all know that he was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1996, which had spread to his lungs and brain. But he miraculously overcame that, and went on to become the most successful Tour de France victor ever.
This picture is an advert from one of his sponsors - Nike. It really needs no explanation whatsoever - just some quiet time for reflection on life. Your own life. For his story is in some way, inspirational to us all.
