How has breast cancer impacted on your life?
Royal Marsden hospitals treated me for Breast Cancer and they were absolutely wonderful so I wanted to give something back. Last year I cycled around Cuba to raise money for them which gave me a great sense of achievement. It also gave me a goal to get better for. I cycled 254 miles in temperatures of over 40 degrees and raised over £3500. I hope to raise even more money next February when I plan to cycle around Vietnam.

How has this journey changed you?
I’ve been trying to raise awareness of breast cancer through the trade press. I’ve had articles written about me, about my journey, my recovery and how I’m back to work and back to fitness. I really hope that I can inspire other women.

If there was one message you could reach out to women with, what would it be?
There is life after breast cancer. In many cases breast cancer is not a life sentence. You can get through it.
