I live in Phuket with my husband Peter and our three children Tilly, Lloyd and Ruby. Prior to this I had a long stint living in Vietnam and working as a school nurse. My children also attended the school with Nick and Jodi’s children Bella and Jack.
Tilly and Bella’s friendship marked the start of a special friendship that our two families formed. It was awful to witness the devastating affects of bowel cancer on some-one so dear to me and someone so young.
Some friends and I set up the first ever Little Black Dress party in Vietnam to help raise funds towards Jodi’s treatment. I was also part of the welcoming committee and celebrations after the first inaugural Little Black Dress Classic finished in Adelaide and I also joined the committee to organise another Little Black Dress party in Vietnam to celebrate the group of cyclist that travelled the length of the country.
I have decided enough of the party organising, I want in on the action and am saddling up for the first time this year.
My training has included swimming and running as I have competed in several triathlons but I now have to concentrate on the bike and the Phuket hills as this endurance test is going to be huge!
By actually getting on the bike a tackling those hills we will have the opportunity to raise awareness of bowel cancer.
I encourage everyone that have never done so before to take a screening test. This is easy to do in Australia by going to your local pharmacy or to purchase online go to http://www.jodileefoundation.org.au/bowel-cancer/take-the-test. For those living abroad I recommend visiting your GP to discuss bowel screening.
