My story

Updated on Nov 27th 2011 at 10:50 AM from the JustGiving API

Hi all. Mission accomplished!!!! Hills so steep almost humanly impossible to get up! Going down was so scary walking was my only option. Yes it was the toughest thing I've ever done but the scenery almost made up for it. Thanks again to everyone who have sponsored me. Yorkshire cancer centre is very grateful x

Well the day has arrived ! !Hope I don't let anyone down. Wish me luck x

Updated on Oct 3rd 2011 at 5:58 PM from the JustGiving HI It won't be long now,I haven't been doing as much training as I should due to work committments.It's been one of the busiest terms ever!!!!

Iv'e been at work 12 hour days and at the moment I feel very tired,not sure if I should be resting or training.oh well fingers crossed all ok

Hi,I've been going up and down the hills near Castle Howard,still not very good.I tried to cycle up Terrington bank but came to a stand still!! I'll keep trying as it is not long now.I'm so near my target I do hope I raise the £6,000.If you visit my page do please tell your friends.Thanks 

Hi I have to tell you all that I'm now cycling Jordan and not the Nile. Due to the unrest in Egypt. Which means it is a far harder challenge as most of it is uphill and staying in a tent for one night. All told I'll be cycling 318 km. Still I couldn't drop out now too much for Yorkshire Cancer centre to loose. X

HI everyone,I've just been for my injections to the surgery I've had one in each arm! Have to go back twice before I'm finished.I was on the exercise bike for 1 1/2 hours last night while watching Downton Abbey.I haven't been able to get out n my bike so easily due to work and the weather.Still find my bum is in agony after I get off and during long rides,could do with expert advice! 19th Sept.

Went training on Monday on purpose because of heat. I've got to get use to it. ! Managed 21 miles in 2 hours. Tooooo hot drank all my water and could hardly breath. My body was perspiring so much I looked like I'd just got out of a swimming pool !!!

Hi I'm going to raise my target again as I've had such a wonderful response I want to keep going. I've cycled 30 miles so far and been given advise from a lovely kind couple. Bum numb !! Hey what's that compared to what people go through at St James's!!

4th May. Hi I have reached the minimum target with the cheques I've sent direct but want to keep going to try and raise as much as possible . Taken bike in for service so will have to go on exercise bike for now.

HI Everyone,Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.I may be mad but felt doing the Cycle the Nile fund raising event 19-27November 2011 would be my way as a thank you to St.James's hospital.It is a wonderful place and needs all the support it can get.Husband John has just finished 8 weeks of Radiotherapy for Prostate cancer at st.James's institute of Oncology.It is the biggest purpose built cancer centre in europe

I will be cycling distances averaging 75km a day over successive days in hot temperatures and over hilly and rugged terrain,I will be in the saddle for up to 8 hours a day!!!That is for 414kms(257.25miles)

My training will start now as all I am used to is a few miles on the odd Sunday on my lovely new bike.So the training has to be taken into concideration when you are thinking how much to sponsor me for !!

Please don't wait until near the time as the earlier I know how much I am raising the better in order for me to think up fund raising events.
