The event, organised by a neighbouring town, was in aid of the charities Leukaemia Research, The Anthony Nolan Trust and Willow Foundation.
Battle of the Brave 2009
"My time wasn't terribly impressive because we were cycling as a team of 5 so always had to go at the pace of the slowest, plus we got rather lost once and suffered 2 punctures. We also had to battle against 20mph winds all afternoon, which for some strange reason I never quite fathomed, always seemed to be blowing against us!"
The Anthony Nolan Trust were in attendance all day, taking blood samples of people who were willing to join the Anthony Nolan register of bone marrow donors. Lynne was sad to discover she was deemed "too old" to join the register!
Lynne raised £140 sponsorship from friends, which Jemmac happily doubled to £280 in recognition of her efforts.
