Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My story…. Well I started cycling during the Easter holidays 2015 as my 50th birthday was fast approaching and I felt the need to get fit. I started cycling with my friend Emma, who had signed up with another friend Jude to cycle 350km across Tanzania raising money for Women v Cancer months ago and they are in the final stages of their training.

Last week Jude mentioned that a lady from the group of over 100 ladies had dropped out due to personal circumstances and she said I should do it. It is an amazing opportunity, a test of my ability to train to be fit enough in such a short space of time but the real challenge is to raise £2050 by the 6th August.

Cancer devastated my family last year when I lost my father in November after a few months of him being diagnosed with lung and liver cancer. So many of us have been affected by cancer in some way in our lives and I would be very grateful for any support you felt able to give to help me raise as much money as possible for this amazing cause.
