Story

Sharon is a Legal Personal Assistant, now called The Herminator which is derived from her surname and was used when she took part in the last tour.  Sharon’s favourite colour is pink and she enjoys listening to anything her children are playing (loudly!) or old school music.  On tour, we are likely to see her eating Steak washed down with Dr Pepper Zero.

Jacqui is retired and enjoys swimming, cycling, running and spending time with her family.  She is known as Lady Perriwinkle by her friends. Jacqui’s favourite colour is red and she enjoys listening to Dido. On tour, we are likely to see her eating pasta washed down with red wine.

So why Le Tour de Balls Trois?

Sharon says: “I am doing this because I did LTDB in 2019 and was absolutely inspired by the people I met along the way – having a Son myself, I just feel it’s important to get the message out there.  In addition to that, the whole experience was incredible and I also had a great time and lots of fun”.

Jacqui says: “I just want to give something back to a good cause”.

What makes you special?

Sharon took part in LTDB two years ago which was incredible and, alongside Jacqui, did her first Ironman distance event in August 2021.

Thank you, Sharon and Jacqui, for taking part in Le Tour de Balls
Trois and supporting It’s in the Bag.

About the charity

It's in the Bag

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1163735
It’s in the Bag is run by a group of survivors with support from specialist NHS staff and provide hands-on support for men with testicular cancer (germ cell) in the South-West. We have three simple aims: Support: Being diagnosed with testicular cancer and going through treatment is a huge challenge – physically, mentally and emotionally. We provide a range of activities and initiatives to help men through this tough time. Awareness: We teach men the importance of checking their balls regularly and taking any issues straight to their GP. Spreading this knowledge promotes earlier diagnosis, which often means simpler, more effective treatment and better chances of a cure. Survival: With UK cure rates for testicular cancer running above 98%, we focus on survival helping guys tackle the emotional and practical impact of cancer, both during treatment and into their lives after.
