YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU

Book ID/图书代码： 12290007B12882

English Summary/英文概要： Jane and Mike Tomlinson have raised over 1.4 million for charity. In YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU, the Tomlinsons explain how they achieved that incredible goal, and 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 and her brother Luke’s cycle ride from John O’Groats to Lands End with Jane stopping twice for chemotherapy en route, on to her incredible ride with Luke from Rome to Leeds and 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 and then a full marathon run. Battling severe pain, Jane completed the course in 15 hours and 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 and through searing heat. But Jane’s ultimate goals are rather more straight-forward. She would simply like to live long enough to see her daughters and young son grow towards independence and to experience every day to its utmost.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 珍。湯林森(Jane Tomlinson)這位轟動全英國的抗癌女戰士，為癌症基金會募到了高達140萬英鎊的慈善捐款，是什麼樣的魅力讓人們願意捐出所得，幫助癌症病友? 讓我們來看看湯林森的故事。
2000年湯林森被檢查出罹患骨癌末期，醫生告訴她活不過明年的春天，藥物已經無法控制癌細胞的擴散，希望湯林森能好好珍惜和家人相處的最後時光， 醫生甚至還告訴湯林森千萬不要學自行車手藍斯．阿姆斯壯一樣跟生命搏鬥，因為湯林森身上的骨癌已經蔓延開來，身體狀況比阿姆斯壯還要糟，沒有必要再繼續奮鬥折磨自己了。湯林森不願意就這樣坐以待斃，她認為既然沒有藥可醫，那就把運動當成良藥吧!
一開始湯林森是參加癌症基金會所舉辦的馬拉松比賽，後來她想要到更遠的地方，所以她改騎腳踏車。2004年湯林森和弟弟一起從羅馬騎雙人腳踏車回英國里茲，這次的行程也為數個基金會募集到一筆驚人的款項，湯林森說”心中想著幫助別人，自己也活的快樂。”雖然湯林森是個癌症末期病患，但是她卻活出了生命的價值，生命的深度 。
2006年湯林森又再度向自己挑戰，這次她的自行車路線是從舊金山到紐約，過程依然艱辛，但是成果豐碩，此次募款她為癌症基金會募得了140萬英鎊。本書不是單純記錄Jane罹癌的過程，而是深刻的描寫兩個平凡的人如何和死神奮鬥，讓生命發出光彩，是大家都值得一讀的好書!
