Story
In September 2022, I will be cycling almost 1000 miles (1660km), in 9 days, from Lands’ End to John O Groats. To dedicate this ride, I am raising money for a charity that is close to my heart ‘Breast Cancer UK.’ My youngest sister Jamie, a mother of four young children, passed away in 2007 from breast cancer. Jamie was only 42 years old.
To commemorate Jamie’s 10th anniversary in 2017, I was planning to train for an event, but I was diagnosed with septicaemia and was in hospital for 10 days. I was lucky to have recovered but I was on medication all throughout 2018 so only started training again in 2019 to regain my fitness. As soon as I felt ready to compete again, COVID happened so I waited until it was safe enough to compete again, and what a better year for the finish line to fall on my 60th Birthday!
This will be one of, if not the hardest challenge I will face, so I'm hoping I can get as much support as I can to power me through the 9 days!
You can donate as little or as much as you like, 100% of the proceeds will go towards this amazing charity 'Breast Cancer UK'.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
