My story

 

In August 1997 I took on the challenge of living following a cancer diagnosis.  I was 35 years old and breast cancer, a mastectomy and chemotherapy were not in my life plan. But here I am ten years on taking on another challenge - motorbiking!  YES I know I am nuts!

However, I am committed to riding a Harley Davidson 1,000 miles from Aviemore to London in August 2007. I have started my training with the support of LINK and believe me this is some challenge! 

The purpose of the ride is to raise funds for Helen Rollason Heal Cancer Charity and Amazon Heart, to raise awareness of people living with cancer and to offer peer group support.  And of course to have lots of FUN.

So wish me well as I welcome being 45 and enjoy the Ride of My Life!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Helen Rollason Heal Cancer Charity will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

All you have to do is get the credit card out, bend the plastic and sponsor me.

Remember your donation is going directly to supporting people touched by cancer.

Thanks a million.
