An inspirational lady whose fund raising achievements have been absolutely staggering. A very brave, focused, kind and inspirational woman. I was constantly gobsmacked and how she continued to train, cycle and run very often in immense pain. She pulled out of a recent interview on the BBC due to ill health so I had a feeling things were not too good.
Her family and friends must be absolutey devastated. A lady with a massive heart who despite her own illness raised over £1.5 million for charity.

Jane Tomlinson obituary
Tributes have flooded in for fundraiser Jane Tomlinson, after she lost her seven-year battle with terminal cancer aged 43.
Family, friends, politicians and the charities that benefited from the £1.75m she raised through a series of gruelling challenges have honoured her.
The married mother-of-three died at St Gemma's Hospice in Leeds on Monday.
Mrs Tomlinson's family said they were "heartbroken". Prime Minister Gordon Brown said she had "amazing spirit".
Mrs Tomlinson, of Rothwell, Leeds, was told in 2000 her metastatic breast cancer was incurable and that she had just six months to live.
She then dedicated her life to raising money for charity, going on to complete a number of fundraising challenges, including the Great North Run, London Marathon and the Ironman UK Triathlon.
She was made a CBE for charitable services in June.
Mrs Tomlinson's husband Mike and children Suzanne, Rebecca and Steven said: "We are, as a family, heartbroken at this loss but we know this extends to all her family and friends.
Mrs Tomlinson's family said details of her funeral would be announced in the near future.
