Story

DENISE JOINS CELEBRITY CYCLISTS FOR WOMEN'S CANCER CHALLENGE
Denise is getting on her bike and taking positive action in the fight against breast, ovarian and cervical cancers.
 
Denise, is 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. They will both be challenging themselves as part of a women-only team of cyclists riding through Kenya 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 Kenya.
 
Denise will cycle around 400kms over five days - both on and off road - experience Africa away from the usual tourists trails through savannah plains, wildlife game parks, tropical rainforests and traditional villages. It will be a journey full of fun, friendship and incredible support as women of all ages and from all walks of life challenge themselves for a great cause.
 
As well as training hard Denise needs to raise a minimum of £2,800 to support the work of the Women V Cancer charities and she is asking local people and companies to help her reach that target.
