Doug Ulman is the President of the Lance Armstrong Foundation and founder of the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults. He is a three-time cancer survivor, diagnosed with chondrosarcoma in 1996 and subsequently diagnosed twice with melanoma. I was diagnosed with cancer in the "athletic prime" of my life. ⋯ My love of exercise first provided me with a context in which to understand the gravity of my diagnosis. Early in my survivorship, exercise served as a guide down a gradual, and sometimes very painful, path to physical recovery. Now, exercise in some of its most extreme forms-marathons and endurance mountain runs-is the vehicle through which I choose to celebrate my survivorship.
