So here we go .... Le Cure 2025! Being my fourth attempt at this crazy challenge might imply I have started to get better at cycling, found it easier or even be able to use my cleats but no, I continue to be woefully underprepared (and still useless at cycling) but am here because I want to support this incredible charity continue to make a difference to those facing a breast cancer diagnosis now and in the years to come.
It's 10 years since I found a little lump just hours before giving birth to a much bigger lump, my second child, Rory. Thanks to the medical wizardry at the Royal Marsden (made possible by all the donations that have come before) the little lump has been removed, zapped, chemo’d and starved and I am continually grateful to report: so far, so good. The bigger lump has grown into an always smiling, mischievous bouncing boy who is an (almost!) constant joy to Mark, me and his caring and determined big sister, Emma.
I am so grateful to be here with them and be able to sign up to mad challenges way beyond my physical abilities like this. A mountain goat I am not, but I will focus on my inner tortoise and all the amazing support I am getting to help me power up those mountains. THANKYOU Louise xx”
