Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hi All,

I cannot believe that at 59 years of age I am actually going to do this!

I am joining a group of women in the first ever Woman v Cancer bike ride in Kenya. We will be cycling around 400kms (about 250 miles!!) from Mount Kenya to Lake Victoria over 5 days. We will be riding on and off road away from the usual tourist trails  through tropical rain forests, savannah plains and wildlife game parks. (There are a lot of hills in Kenya!)

I am doing this to raise funds to support the work of three very worthwhile charities: Breast Cancer Care, Jo's Trust (the only UK charity dedicated to women affected by cervical abnormalities and cancers) and Ovarian Cancer Action. A donation will also be made to support cancer care in Kenya.

Those of you who know me well know that I am vertically challenged, horizontally challenged and very unfit! Getting fit enough to do this will certainly be a challenge for me! You also will know I am also very determined and a survivor so I will do it!

We will be heading off to Kenya on 29th. October next year so during that time I want to raise as much as I can, I will be working as hard at fund raising as I will be training so I have a very busy time ahead of me. All donations to help me reach my goal will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you, Frances x
