<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Before you read all about my bike challenge I just thought I should make it clear to you that <span style="color: #00ff00;">any money you donate will be going directly to the charities. <span style="color: #ff0000;">I am paying all my own fees for the challenge which includes flights,taxes, accomodation.</span></span></p> <p>I am getting on my bike in 2012 to help raise funds for WomenVCancer to take positive action in the fight against Ovarian,Breast and Cervical cancers. I will be joining a group of women &nbsp;( including Melinda Messenger and Natasha Hamilton !! ) to take part in a challenge to cycle approx. 340kms through India - both on and off road.&nbsp;</p> <p>As many of you will know I lost my beloved mum to Ovarian cancer - the 'silent killer' - in 2009. Last week on the 11th October I also lost a very good friend, one of the bravest most inspiring people I have ever met - Rhonda Waters - to Breast cancer ( aged 45 ! ). She left behind 2 beautiful daughters Zara ( 14 - a year older than my Kirsty ) and Alice ( 10 - my Ciara's best friend ). I am taking part in this challenge to both honour their memories and to raise money in the hope that others won't have to go through what those brave individuals did.</p> <p>As the mum of 2 beautiful daughters I am also very aware of the threat of such illnesses to both myself and my girls. I don't want that fate to be ours.</p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Please please help me raise this money to help out these good causes. I am prepared to put in the time and effort to do this challenge - 340km on a bike in 25-30 degrees heat - please help make it worthwhile.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Thanks so much in advance of your generous donations.</span></p>
