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.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/e...re/5276542.stm
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.
Her website can be found here:

Unbelievable what human spirit can imagine, initiate and then actually *do*
I am ten years well now; long may it continue!
