Jane Tomlinson is receiving treatment at St James's Hospital

A cancer charity has named a research laboratory after fundraiserJane Tomlinson.

Mrs Tomlinson, 38, from Rothwell, Leeds, has cycled 1,060 miles from John O'Groats to Lands End and taken part in a triathlon as well as the Great North Run and the London Marathon.

She has done all this to raise �135,000 - despite suffering terminal cancer.

The laboratory in Cancer Research UK's Clinical Centre at St James's Hospital, Leeds, will now be known as the Jane Tomlinson Laboratory.

I thought if I could raise some money, I could help other people in the future Jane Tomlinson

Mrs Tomlinson officially unveiled a plaque at a naming ceremony attended by her husband Mike and Cancer Research UK scientists and doctors based there.

The centre houses about 150 researchers working in a total of five laboratories looking at various aspects of cancer, including gene therapy, cancer genetics and vaccines.

Professor Peter Selby from the centre said: "Jane is now synonymous with Leeds so it is appropriate that Cancer Research UK has chosen to recognise her here.

Mrs Tomlinson said: "I feel honoured that Cancer Research UK has decided to do this for me.

"I know that my situation means that there is little to benefit me from research, but I thought if I could raise some money, I could help other people in the future."
