Story

Hey all!

I'm getting on my bike and taking positive action in the fight against breast, ovarian and cervical cancers.

I'm part of an amazing group of women tackling the unique, new Women V Cancer challenge. Other cyclists include television presenters Dawn Porter and Aggie MacKenzie. Aggie is best known for her Channel 4 series How Clean is Your House? and Dawn for hard-hitting documentaries like Super Slim Me and My Breasts Could Kill Me. We will all be challenging ourselves as part of a women-only team of cyclists riding through to support the work of three charities: Breast Cancer Care, Jo’s Trust and Ovarian Cancer Action. A donation will also be made to support cancer care in .

My adventure starts now but from 29 October – 7 November 2011, I'll be cycling around 400kms over five days – both on and off road – experiencing away from the usual tourist trails through savannah plains, wildlife game parks, tropical rainforests and traditional villages.

As well as training hard I need to raise a minimum of £2800 to support the work of the Women V Cancer charities.

Please help us reach our target!

Thanks

Jess xx
