Story

My name is Emma Francis. I am 48 years old and want to raise funds to support Breast Cancer Care, Ovarian Cancer Action and Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust.

Two of these charities are particularly close to my heart, as my mum had breast cancer and died of ovarian cancer. I want to try and help many more women find support and guidance through their difficult times whilst on their potentially long journey to recovery, as well as contribute to the costs of researching these terrible diseases. Through heightened awareness, more women have a greater chance of survival if diagnosed early enough.

Each of these charities support, inform, and campaign, the very thing I want to achieve in memory of my mum, and wish she could have had this kind of expertise early in her diagnosis.

The cycling is my personal challenge, as the journey is 450km through Rajastan in Northern India. It's not just the journey that is the challenge, I also have the heat, humidity, and terrain to contend with. I am taking a long run at preparing for the journey, as I move from fat & unfit to lean and mean!

Your support would be greatly appreciated.
