Re: Jane Tomlinson


Yes - I read this too. She's one determined lady. However, I'm not sure if a bike ride across the USA is something I'd embark on when faced with terminal cancer. I think I'd rather be at home putting personal ducks in order.

Still everyone deals with things in their own way and full marks to Jane for her brave undertaking!

Re: Jane Tomlinson


Think she's done most of that Yola - think her husband and son are with her in the US. If she's have given up 6 years ago her children would have had a lot less of a mum/lot fewer memories than they have now.
I hope she doesn't fade away now she has reached her goal. I remember a woman called Pat Seed - much the same diagnosis but whose aim was to raise £1million (or maybe more) for some sort of cancer treating equipment. She lived for years raising the money, reached the target and died very soon afterwards.
We all need something to live for ........
