Robyn’s turn to feel the Nello buzz

Robyn Walton has a very special reason for signing up to ride this year’s Nello.

Last year she cheered from the sidelines as a large group of friends were inspired to ride by the way she handled a brutal regime of life-saving treatment for breast cancer.

Thirty of them rode as Robyn’s Red Breasts with specially crocheted boobs on the front of their bikes.

Now it’s Robyn’s turn.

“I’ve just signed up for the 2025 FORCE Cancer Charity Nello ride to celebrate being a whole year into remission from HER2+ breast cancer.

Amazing

“The charity is amazing! I’m excited to be able to join in this year to show my appreciation to the selfless team at FORCE, while raising money to support the work they do.

“FORCE enabled me to talk through my emotions with trained counsellors but I also quickly learned the benefits of wellbeing management through sessions in reflexology and massage.

“Treatment for cancer can feel relentless but there are strategies that help during tough times and finding small pockets of joy in

everything we do regardless of where we are in life is so important.

“The FORCE Centre is a warm and welcoming safe space, it breaks up the clinical feel of the hospital; we are all so lucky that it exists in our community.”

Brilliant

Robyn is thrilled about this year’s Nello challenge and is encouraging others to join her.

“If you like to ride your bike or have never done a long ride before this is a brilliant event to get involved with. The snacks are out of this world! See you at the start line 😊.

“Oh, and remember to check your breasts!”
