Easter 2011 was sunny and hot , the Todd mob had just moved to Tilmanstone, we sat in our lovely garden everthing should have been perfect except Steve and I were waiting out the seemingly eternal holidays to find out whether or not the lump i had found was cancer.

I cant describe the terror of being told that it is cancer. my first thought was there was a chance i wouldnt be there to see my beautiful children grow up. i was panic stricken .

Yet here i am a 2 year + survivor still going strong, this I believe is due to the huge advances occurring quite recently in the care and treatment of cancer patients. Everyday we hope for new breakthroughs for people like my lovely mum and so many like her who still fight the fight.

With this in mind i chose cancer research as the charity id like to raise funds for, they have a huge impact on new research and treatments yet shockingly receive no government funding .

I am and always have been an absolute believer in the positive effect that exercise has on the mind and body,  during my illness it became a ritual to get on my feet as soon as possible after treatment.  Day 1 would be a shaky lean on steve walk up the garden progressing to getting back to cycling stephen to school before the next bout.  Down time was spent plotting events to do after the treatment was finished and i was well again. I was lucky to have wonderful support from my family and friends near and far.

And so the seed was sown fund raiser cycling from  Lands end to John O Groats .!! end to end yes  !! This is going to take place starting  on 30 August 2014 for two weeks. in between now and then i have the mammoth task of getting fit enough to do it.  It has already begun . i will be doing events inbetween to check my progress starting with the deal half marathon  february 9th. some of the events will be done with my brilliant training buddies Ruth Louise and Lynne , some with the Family and hoping to rope in other friends too, As well as a request for your kind support for  this very good cause  this is an open invitation to anyone who wants to join me for an event or a training session .
