Story
My name is Jayne and I have spent the last 9 months fighting breast cancer. I was given the all clear from the primary cancer following 7 rounds of chemotherapy and a double mastectomy. The fight, however, still continues to limit chances of recurrence with active treatment for 1 year and hormone therapy for 10 years. The psychological recovery is also ongoing and harder than I could ever imagine that it would be for someone as strong and independent as I am (errr was ?) So, I'm trying to exercise and diet and eat well and drink less to improve my chances of long term survival, which are good I might add. I'm now up to an average of 6500 steps a day - woot woot. The shine 10k walk will be around 13000 steps and I have no idea how I'm going to manage to push through the invisible wall I will inevitably hit, except that I am taking on this challenge with a group of amazing friends who have been with me through the whole journey and have given me so much support that I have no words to express how thankful I have been and continue to be.
