Michaela is fundraising for
Jane's Appeal was established by the late Jane Tomlinson CBE to raise funds for children's and cancer charities. The charities that have benefited from Jane's support cover all areas including medical research, cancer treatment and specialist care.
Jane was diagnosed with incurable, advanced metastatic breast cancer in August 2000. The disease spread was extensive and the prognosis was for her to survive six months. Over a seven year period, Jane fought through numerous courses of chemotherapy and various drug regimes despite also developing chronic heart disease.
During this period Jane, a mother of three from Leeds, took on a series of apparently impossible challenges, including a full Ironman, two half Ironmans, the London Marathon three times, the New York Marathon, three London Triathlons and three long distance bike rides (including 6781.8kms across America).
