Aileen Taylor - Rider & Director. Australia.
5 year survivor.
Diagnosed: 2005. Age: 44.
Aileen is the co-Founder of the Journey of Hope Breast Cancer Bike Ride. Aileen was diagnosed in September 2005 at the age of 38, had surgery (lumpectomy) in the following month and began chemotherapy at the end of the year.
At the beginning of 2006, Aileen had six months of chemotherapy and then underwent seven weeks of radiation treatment. After that, she commenced estrogen suppression drug treatment on which she will be on for five years. Again, early detection of breast cancer is one of Aileen's key messages that will be communicated during the 2011 Ride.
DONATE TO THE RIDER'S FUNDRAISING
Funds raised from Rider fundraising initiatives are used for awareness and education campaigns of the importance of early detection, as well as to provide support to people with breast cancer in less fortunate areas.
