Story

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> 8 Days, 2 Marathons, 6 days cycling Paris to Yorkshire to London. Sound Mad? We think not!</span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Find out why.....</span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">This April will mark 10 years since Jane Tomlinson ran the London marathon for the first time and so a big challenge is planned. Jane defied the odds and public perception of cancer taking on an array of serious endurance events in order to raise over &pound;1.85million for charity. As the first terminally ill breast cancer patient to take complete the London Marathon, Jane confronted what to many seemed impossible.</span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">With this year&rsquo;s London Marathon marking the 10th anniversary of Jane&rsquo;s first marathon &amp; the beginning of her endurance challenge milestones in aid of the Jane Tomlinson Appeal the Tomlinson family have set themselves a &lsquo;marathon&rsquo; challenge. </span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">But why stop at just one marathon! Mike &amp; Rebecca Tomlinson will take on an 8 day challenge completing Paris Marathon ahead of a 6 day cycle route to London ahead of the London Marathon via Hull and the Appeal&rsquo;s home turf of Yorkshire. </span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Taking in the region&rsquo;s key landmarks Mike &amp; Rebecca will be joined by a team of cyclists as they take on the 100mile a day cycle route to the capital. </span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Following in the footsteps of Jane, who set the endurance bar high completing challenges such as the Florida Ironman in 2004 and a 2500mile bike ride across America in 2006, an endurance challenge was the only fitting way to mark the anniversary. </span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Prior to Jane&rsquo;s death in 2007 she&rsquo;d not only completed a number of endurance events but had raised an incredible &pound;1.85million in the process. With &pound;4million having now been raised to date its hoped that the team will not only take on the challenge to complete the mileage but to get a step closer to the charities next fundraising target of &pound;5million. </span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">With the Paris Marathon only weeks ago visit <a href="http://www.janetomlinsonappeal.com">www.janetomlinsonappeal.com</a> to follow the teams progress. <br><span style="color: #000000;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> <p>&nbsp;</p> </font></span></span></span></p>
