Story

The reason I am doing the london night ride is to help raise money for three very important charities that woman v cancer are supporting. In November 2011 I was diagnosed with cervical cancer, at the age of 25 this was the last thing I thought would happen! After many appointments and small operations at Torbay hospital and Exeter hospital, I was told I would need further treatment, I was referred to St Bartholomews hospital in St Pauls London for a much more major and specialist operation which was a 'Radical Tracalectomy' and also to have my 'Lymth nodes' removed. After a long 11 days in hospital recovering and after a few further problems I was evetually allowed home, being told in 2 weeks time I would receive my full results. Thankfully on the 21st march 2012 I was told that the tracalectomy got all of the cancer and I was cancer free and could finally get on with my life and no more treatment was needed, just regular check ups. Since this i have got married abroad in paphos and have been spending lots of quality time with my little boy. Recently i had another month strech in hostpital due to adhestions which has steamed from my previous operation, unfortunatley it meant that my Cuba cycle in this October hd to be prosponed until May 2014!!! I am now fighting fit and back to training for Cuba and London!!! Everything I have been through in the last 2 years has inspired me to do something to help these well deserved charities in raising money to help people like my self and also people less fortunate then me who require more treatment. I would like to take this opportunity in advance to thank you all in taking time in reading my story and sponsoring me, I will be doing lots of fundraising over the next few months to help raise lots of money to these worthy charities.
