Ok after reading the title there may be some disappointed fellas looking at this, but I just wanted to let you know about a friend of mine who is doing an amazing thing. Louise Hartley was diagnosed with breast cancer just before her 40th birthday only three years after her sister in law was diagnosed at just 33. Breast cancer in young women is increasingly common and Louise is trying to raise awareness for the cause. She has learnt to ride a motorbike and now Lou and Breast Quest’s professional photographer, Tristan Poyser, have set off on a three-week tour of Europe by motorbike to raise money for charity. Give us your support! The trip kicked off in the Market Square, Nottingham on Saturday 19 July at 4pm. Lou and Tristan were waved off by the Lord Mayor and accompanied by some 20 Nottingham Advanced Motorcyclists before they roared off to the ferry at Harwich. And they’ve been making a video documentary of the trip with blogs, photos and podcasts en route.
She's just reached France knackered and triumphant but she still needs support, please go and look at the website and see the amazing journey she's been on so far...
