A propos du livre

Revue de presse

‘I may have led England to a World Cup victory, but Jane Tomlinson’s achievements . . . leave me feeling positively humble.
Jane is quite simply an inspiration. There is no other word to describe her. She is truly a great British heroine, even though she’d doubtless be embarrassed by that description. But what else can you say about a woman who has dedicated six years since being diagnosed with terminal cancer to selflessly raising over £1 million for her charity causes.
The series of marathons, triathlons, Ironman events and cycling challenges she has undertaken during that time would prove daunting to the vast majority of professional sportsmen. Her courage and sheer determination beggar belief, and reinforce her message that a terminal cancer prognosis can still involve an active and fruitful life.’

‘Mother of three Jane was diagnosed with incurable breast cancer in 2000. Since then, she has completed many astonishing endurance races, raising nearly £1,500, 000 for charity. Every moment is heroic and moving from training for marathons while undergoing chemotherapy, to taking morphine as she cycled across America in 2006’
Daily Express 6/4
‘At 26 Jane was diagnosed with breast cancer. Ten years later she was told she had six months to live. Seven years after that, Jane is still with us. Since becoming ill she has run a marathon, completed a triathlon and cycled from San Francisco to New York, raising more than a million pounds for charity. This is the story of a truly amazing woman’

Quatrième de couverture

'Britain's bravest mum'
News of the World
'Jane is remarkable. A true champion of life'
Paula Radcliffe MBE
Jane Tomlinson promised her husband Mike that if she had to resort to morphine she'd abandon her extreme bike ride across America and go home. On day one, she broke her promise. Nine weeks later, she had cycled 3,700-miles from San Francisco to New York and lost a quarter of her bodyweight in the process. On her return to Britain, Jane announced that her disease had progressed so that she was no longer able to take part in physical challenges. You Can't Take it With You tells the story of Mike and Jane's journey to that point: the marathons and triathlons, cycle rides down Britain and across Europe, and the £1,425,000 raised for charity that made it all worthwhile.
Jane was just twenty-six when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer. A decade later, in 2000, she was told the disease had spread and she had only six months to live. Jane, a devoted mother of three, had to find a way to make the most of every moment that was left to her. When she stood on the finishing line in New York she realised that six months had become six unforgettable years. Not a cancer memoir but the truth about living with dying, You Can't Take It With You picks up from the bestseller The Luxury of Time. It's the story of two ordinary people turned extraordinary by the hand fate has dealt them.
Jane is truly a great British heroine'
Martin Johnson CBE
