Mrs Tomlinson has 300 miles to go

The 40-year-old cancer sufferer is on the final leg of a 2,500 mile journey from Rome to West Yorkshire.

On Tuesday Mrs Tomlinson cycled 80 miles from Folkestone to London as she makes her way home to Rothwell, Leeds.

Mrs Tomlinson and her brother Luke Goward, 39, have cycled about 1,600 miles and raised �100,000 since the start of the trip on 3 May.

Mrs Tomlinson, who has metastatic breast cancer, has cycled through Italy and across France.

The duo have just six days cycling left and the mother-of-three has continued cycling despite suffering immense pain from the cancer and sleepless nights.

Jane Tomlinson and her brother have cycled from Rome

Husband Mike Tomlinson said: "It's been a really long day for Jane and Luke.

"She's still in the same condition as she was on Saturday night and the only thing that is keeping her going is sheer guts.

"She won't give up now as she is only 300 miles from home and it would make the whole ride a failure."

The pair will spend a rest day in London on Wednesday before riding to Oxford on Thursday, Solihull on Friday, Nottingham on Saturday and Macclesfield on Sunday.
