One day late for #WorldKindnessDay, but the incredible amounts of kindness I see every day on this ride really help keep up my faith in humanity. A little kindness goes a long way. Keep it up!

Last day of Leg 2=last chance to donate to the fab @WChildCancer: uk.virginmoneygiving.com/Luk… It'd mean a lot if you did. They changed the landscape of childhood cancer treatment in Kosovo+many kids, like Logan who I met, rely on them. Thoughts on visit here: bristol2beijing.org/the-trin…

It was a pleasure speaking to the inspiring @lukefacingup for his podcast recently In a blog (from Croatia!) Luke shares his latest challenge, cycling from #Bristol to Beijing @Bristol2B, rewriting the narrative of what's possible with a cancer diagnosis thebristolmayor.com/2020/09/…

OPPORTUNITIES IN CHALLENGES This week, on 1 day's ride we had 2 tyre problems! Frustrating, I know. But luckily I was with the fab Oli Broadhead, who helped me make the most of this hiccough by teaching me about #photography! Check out how beautifully he captured these moments!

#NationalFitnessDay Exercise has been so important since my cancer diagnosis (and before!), and on such a tough ride as I'm doing now keeping a good level of fitness is vital! Check out some more of my thoughts in this blog I wrote for @cancer5kYourWay :) bristol2beijing.org/chemothe…

This week I was happy to share the love of the tandem with some younger fans, all the way from Tunisia! If you want to hear from a slightly higher level cyclist, don't miss tomorrow's @lukefacingup podcast with a 4-time Ironman champion! #AllWelcome #JoinMe #ProTriathlon

This interview was by far the most challenging, and I think interesting, one i've done to date. Luke and I talk triathlon but we also end up discussing the challenges doctors and patients face from both sides. It was an opportunity for deep reflection. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…
