Jane & Mike Tomlinson have raised over 1.4 million for charity. In YOU CANT TAKE IT WITH YOU the Tomlinsons explain how they achieved that incredible goal & why Jane who has a terminal cancer diagnosis chose to put her long-suffering body through such difficult experiences. The book takes us from Jane & her brother Lukes cycle ride from John OGroats to Lands End with Jane stopping twice for chemotherapy en route on to her incredible ride with Luke from Rome to Leeds & then out to Florida for the full Ironman triathlon. This last challenge is almost inconceivable to the average person involving as it does a 2.5-mile swim a 112-mile cycle & then a full marathon run. Battling severe pain Jane completed the course in 15 hours & 48 minutes. In summer 2006 Jane cycled from San Francisco to New York an epic 6 700-kilometre journey that took her to breathtaking altitudes & through searing heat. But Janes ultimate goals are rather more straight-forward. She would simply like to live long enough to see her daughters & young son grow towards independence & to experience every day to its utmost. ...

In 2011 Tina Renton used her law degree to put the man who had abused her from the age of six behind bars. That man was her stepfather David Moore a predatory paedophile who pounced on Tina while she innocently lay sleeping at night. From the age of six until she was fifteen Tina was subjected to David Moore's warped brutality. As a teenager she told her mother & teacher that she was being raped but incredibly no action was taken. Alone with nowhere to turn for help she drew on her inner strength to survive knowing that she would someday get justice. In fact she waited until adulthood to see justice done. In spite of having had virtually no education she was accepted by Essex University & graduated with a 2:1 in Law in 2009. While studying she realised that although the abuse had happened many years earlier she could finally take her stepfather to court & make him pay for stealing her childhood. She told her story to the police in 2009 & two years later she saw Moore sentenced to 14 years for rape & sexual abuse. Her brave & shocking story throws a spotlight on how children are failed by adults when they need them most. Tina's determination to fight against the odds & never give up is an inspiration to anyone who has ever wanted to see justice done. ...
