An incredible person, Jane Tomlinson

Last month we did in class the song I will survive. Few days later, I listened on the radio the life of an incredible person, Jane Tomlinson. She always looked up on herself just an ordinary woman with cancer but her extraordinary tenacity is an extraordinary example for all of people who are suffering in one moment of her life.
In 1991 at the age of 26 , the doctors said to her that she had breast cancer. In 2002, Jane Tomilson was told that the cancer had spread to her bone, and lungs. The doctors said that she could expected to live 6 months. It is in this moment when the incredible life of this mother starts . She took on series of apparently imposible challenges, for someone who is suffering from cancer and undergoing chemotheraphy treatment. In May of 2001, she took part in her first challenge, the 5 Km Race for Life. She finished with any problem. She decided to continue running. She also run in the 2001, London and New York Marathons. She is the first who finished this with terminal cancer. In August of the same year she rode with her brother 1060 miles bike (from John O’Grats to the meridian of Land’s End).
Obviously she became famous, when she was aked why she is doing this, she explain that: “ My mission in life is to make the most of every day and to help others.” She uses this thing that becomes famous to creat Jane’s Appeal ( www.janesappeal.com) to rise substancial funds for a Cancer and Children’s Charities. They have now more or less 1.9 millions of Euros.
In 2004 she makes also with her brother a tandem to cycle from Rome to Leeds an d climbed Mont Ventoux douring the journey.
Her most incredible to me is that she did the Ironman in Florida. An Ironman is 4km swiming , 180 Km bike ride an a full marathon (42.195Km). She did in only 15 hours 48 minutes and 32 seconds. The most for normal people is 17 hours
The last thing she did before she died in 2007, seven years later her diagnosis; was her huge challenge a 6781,8 Km ride coast to coast of the United States.

Be happy

When I read theAlkegra's blog as I mention in my comment her presentation reminds me of a very happy song of Bob Marley' song " Three litle birds". This are the the lyrics:

"Don't worry about a thing,'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"
Rise up this mornin',Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birdsPitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songsOf melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")
Chorus:
Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!

"Rise up this mornin',Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birdsPitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songsOf melodies pure and true
Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"

Chorus

This is a video of the song:

Why Phoebe?


As I tell you in the last post I'm going to explain why I mame my blog phoebe .
It reminds me one of my best friendssome years ago .

Me as Phoebe are persons who always say that they think in this moment. When I realize that a friend is doing something that is bad for me I tell him what I'm feeling. In one progamme in Tv serial, I think is Ross who don't go to do her massage as Phoebe's place. Phoebe in this moment feels that it is only do for a person that is not a really friend. I have only three persons in my life that I consider that they are my really friends. For me the rest of people are people that I am with.

My young life is not really the same as any other child. It's because I have suffered Three operations in my eyes. The first, it was when I was only 2 years old . This makes to me see the life in a diferent way than the rest of the people. This has a good thing now that I don't need glasses. This difficult situation when I was young permits to me relativity the bad situation that I´m suffering and start to laugh .

Another thing that I like to do as Phoebe is sing. Normally when I am in a good humor I change the real letters to the songs and I song what i'm feeling in this moment.


I am person who loves animals. I couldn't be a vegetarian as Phoebe because I have lack of iron in my blood.
