Terminal Cancer Sufferer's Ride across America
I'm not sure if anyone on the forum is aware of Jane Tomlinson's epic ride across America, to raise hopefully over $2million for UK and US Cancer charities.

Jane was diagnosed with advanced metatastic breast cancer in 2000 and given 6 months to live. Since her diagnosis she has gone on to take part in various ironmen competitions (never having been into sports previously).
I saw a documentary about her a few years ago, she really is a remarkable woman.
She's the only person in the world to complete an ironman with incurable cancer, and to complete a marathon whilst undergoing chemotherapy.
She truly is an inspiration and one of my all-time heroes.
It really humbles me that there are people out there whose spirits are truly unbreakable.
