From the Daventry Post Weds July 9th. Text reads as follows:-Daventry's mother and daughter cycling duo
A MOTHER and daughter from Daventry are getting ready to face the challenge of a lifetime as they cycle from London to Paris in four days.Linda Davies and Emily Eldershaw are raising money for Breast Cancer Care and have already raised £3,000 but are hoping to double this by the time they start their bike ride on Wednesday, September 3.Linda is also taking part in the challenge to celebrate her 50th birthday. She said: “I can’t let this year pass without achieving something momentous. “We’ve only ever cycled for fun before. “The last time I did any serious exercise was in the early 1990s when I used to be an aerobic and swimming instructor, but the only serious exercise I do now is walk my dogs.”The pair have been following a strict routine set by Discover Adventure, the organisers of the event and are now cycling more than 100 miles a week to prepare to take on the challenge.Both ladies are Daventry born and bred and are hoping local businesses will get behind them and support them in raising money for their chosen charity.Linda said: “We have never been affected by breast cancer but it is the largest known killer of women.”As little as £5 will allow one person to access the online chat forum on the charity’s website and share experiences with other people affected by breast cancer.You can sponsor Linda or Emily by visiting their online fundraising pages on www.justgiving.com/lindadavies1 or www. justgiving.com/emilyeldershawLondon2Paris.
