An inspirational lady

If I'm still alive at 85, I would hope to still have the health and fitness to tackle something like a 1,000 mile charity ride. I wish her luck.

Yes, very inspiring.

The motivation behind the rides is incredibly sad though...

Mavis says she takes on these challenges as a way of coping with the loss of her three children over a four year period.

"I can't go on living my life thinking about them all the time. I do think about them a lot but I've got to face life and take on the challenges which are a huge help to me. The last one I did was wonderful because it took my mind off of the children." It's like therapy" she said.
