Mine is easy:
My sister was re-diagnosed with cancer in February 2000. She was going through chemo and radiation and all that througout the year. Through happenstance, I met a guy who knew Lance Armstrong quite well. I asked for a favor, could he get Lance Armstrong to autograph something for my sister, who was a HUGE cycling fan and Olympic road race certified official.
Two weeks after the tour, he gives me an autographed cycling cap from Lance. The hat was the official hat given to all cyclists in the race. I gave to her for X-mas, and I got it all on tape.
You would have thought she won the lottery, jumping, crying, laughing, swearing, all ensued. She put it up in a glass case on her mantel with a light on it. When her cycling friends came by, they used to drool at it............ I stll have the hat carefully preserved, and in the safe deposit box........
