Fundraising for Women V Cancer Cycle Challenges - Cycle Africa

Story

In 2005 my amazing Mama passed away from ovarian cancer. For 2015 I am joining Women V Cancer Cycle Africa group 3 for a 350km (217.48 miles!) ride across Tanzania in honour of her 10 year anniversary.

Funds raised by Women V Cancer will be divided equally between three important charities: Breast Cancer Care, Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust and Ovarian Cancer Action. My goal is to raise awareness but also raise as much money as possible to help the fantastic work that Ovarian Cancer Action does. Ovarian Cancer Action strives to stop women dying from ovarian cancer by funding world-class scientific research leading to innovative treatment and progressive solutions.

I will be paying the costs to fund the trip myself so all your donation will go to this fantastic cause that is so close to my heart.

Every little helps so please donate anything you can! Text LMPB54 £(£1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10) to 70070.

I also managed to rope in my amazing friend Abbi (after far too many martinis....) who's been with me and supported me all my life through thick and thin. Here's her page: https://www.justgiving.com/abbi-Whitcombe/

I'll post updates on our training and a video diary throughout the experience for your entertainment!

Thanks!
