Her journey was hailed as one of the greatest endurance feats ever by a terminal cancer sufferer. How Good is That?takes the reader behind the scenes of this extraordinary last ride across terrain and in temperatures which were to prove almost untenable as Jane's illness worsened. She was defiant to the end.The book, already substantially written by Jane for her part before her death, has been completed by Mike to give an incredible and moving insight into his wife's final days as well as the achievements, emotional and physical, of a woman who inspired a nation. : About the Author: Mike Tomlinson lives in Leeds as do his and Jane's three children and one grandchild.
