  • On 1 September 2006, Jane finished a nine-week, 3,700-mile cycle ride across America. It was hailed as one of the greatest endurance feats ever undertaken by a terminal cancer sufferer. Jane’s husband, Mike, called it ‘a celebration of the human spirit over the body’s frailty’. HOW GOOD IS THAT? takes the reader behind the scenes of the ride and, as well, examines the shifting nature of the couple’s perspectives as they faced up, with candour and honesty, to the greatest of challenges. The book, already substantially written by Jane for her part, will be completed by Mike to give the reader an incredible and moving insight into the achievements, emotional and physical, of a woman who inspired a nation.

Review: This book tells the story of a remarkable lady. I’d wanted to read it for a long time and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Very easy to read. I couldn’t put it down. It was written by Jane and her husband Mike in a diary format. A remarkable book by a remarkable couple. Have already passed it on.

The Author: Mike Tomlinson lives in Leeds as do his and Jane’s three children and one grandchild. Among the many awards Jane received were an MBE in 2003, a CBE in 2007 and the Freedom of the City of Leeds. Jane and Mike have raised £1.75 million pounds for charity.
