A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'Jane is quite simply an inspiration. There is no other word to describe her. She is truly a great British heroine' Martin Johnson CBE
In September 2006, in the midst of a 7-year battle with terminal cancer, Jane Tomlinson finished a 3,700-mile cycle ride across America. She died the next year, at the age of 43, but by then, the story of her courageous struggle had gained a life of its own. How Good is That? is part of the extraordinary legacy she has left behind for her family, friends and the thousands of others who observed with awe and admiration her determination and resilience.
Begun by Jane herself, and completed by her husband Mike, How Good is That? recounts her incredible journey across the United States, and the physical and emotional challenges met and overcome by the Tomlinson family as they pushed the limits of endurance with irrepressible hope and determination. In Jane and Mike's own words, How Good is That? is the story of a woman who found peace and accomplishment even in her darkest hours, a woman who rose above every obstacle and inspired a nation.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Following a seven-year battle with cancer, Jane Tomlinson died at the age of 43 in September 2007. Almost exactly one year earlier, on 1 September 2006, Jane finished a gruelling nine-week, 3,700-mile cycle ride from the west coast to the east coast of America. Her journey was hailed as one of the greatest endurance feats ever by a terminal cancer sufferer. How Good is That? takes the reader behind the scenes of this extraordinary last ride across terrain and in temperatures which were to prove almost untenable as Jane's illness worsened. She was defiant to the end.The book, already substantially written by Jane for her part before her death, has been completed by Mike to give an incredible and moving insight into his wife's final days as well as the achievements, emotional and physical, of a woman who inspired a nation.
