Jean, if you are reading, my heart goes out to you. I have no words that can comfort you but I will support you as long as possible.

I have no words. Love to Jean and her family, she's a fierce Queen, keep riding.

Cancer is a random bastard. Jean brings the names of women who've been erased by men back into public conciousness, by riding her bike. She is an inspiring woman and I'm wishing her all the best in her uphill slog against rogue cells.

Bowlofbabelfish · 03/08/2018 15:06

Oh Jean I’m so sorry - that’s a rough diagnosis. I hope you get as much time on your bike as you can. Flowers may the wind be at your back.

No words, but I have a few pounds to send for some cycle miles Flowers

I'm sorry, this is the first I have heard of Jean and her bike rides but I think it's an amazing thing to do so I have been to the Go Fund Me page and donated.

Sending my thoughts and best wishes to Jean and her family Flowers

Every single best wish I possess is winging your way, Jean. Flowers

Oh that's sad news. Sending love and solidarity.

RaininSummer · 03/08/2018 15:32

Bloody hell. I became aware of Jean through the gc stuff and was chuffed to meet her in Truro. Best love Jean. Keep on riding xx

CardsforKittens · 03/08/2018 16:05

All good wishes to you Jean Flowers

ThanksPrawn.

Jean's blog reduced me to tears. I really hope she has many, many wonderful years ahead of her. There is something about her work, her purpose - riding for murdered women - that is really heart rending. That she cares so much about these women she has never met or spoken with that she treats them in death with so much dignity and love, when so much of what they knew when alive was pain and abuse.

Get well soon, Jean.

Jean I follow your rides for murdered women. You're a strong dedicated and inspirational woman. I'll pledge some money & ride on Wine

placemats · 03/08/2018 16:56

Jean if you are lurking, I'm still running outside, in the open in my park opposite because you have inspired me. I'm now going to get my bike fixed.

Much love to you and your loved ones. And yes tears too.

Of course there are no words only actions.

Bold, brave Jean, my very, very best wishes to you and your loved ones. Your work has inspired so many, and is one of the many strands of action which are being woven into something very beautiful for all women.

Glad to see she's not letting it slow her down. One of today's tweets...
