The money raised and the awareness created has exceeded all expectations. We have connected with so many rural communities and offered hope to the women with breast cancer and their families. I received inspiring messages on social media and from everyone who cheered me on from the side of the road. That really did keep me going and kept my spirits high. The whole experience was intense, but so uplifting, and to make a difference to people's lives is very special.
