Lance Armstrong: The Early Years

Lance Armstrong was born on September 18, 1971 in Plano, Texas. His father, Eddie Gunderson, abandoned him and his mother Linda, who was only seventeen when she gave birth, before his second birthday. Linda remarried Terry Armstrong three years later, and he formally adopted Lance. With little money, Linda was set on giving Lance a good life. When he was seven years old, she gave him his first bike. Terry and Linda divorced when Lance was in his mid-teens, leaving Linda to raise Lance on her own once again.
