Publisher's Synopsis
Following a seven-year battle with cancer, Jane Tomlinson died at the age of 43 in September 2007. Almost exactly one year earlier, Jane finished a gruelling nine-week, 3,700-mile cycle ride from the west coast to the east coast of America. Conditions for this last ride, as Jane crossed mountains and plains, in record-breaking summer temperatures, were to prove almost untenable as her illness worsened. Substantially written by Jane before her death, the book has been completed by Mike, giving a moving insight into his wife's final days and the achievements of a woman who inspired a nation.
