International Convention highlight - Lion Sheila Howard on target for 25th June 2010
Lion Sheila Howard is on the home stretch!
In an effort that leaves us lesser mortals reaching for the ’heat rub’ and Epsom salts, courageous 70 year old Sheila is on the home stretch of a 4000km cycling odyssey from Bunbury, Western Australia.
Sheila will be joining the estimated 15,000 Lions from around the world in Sydney for its gathering to celebrate nearly 100 years of worldwide humanitarian service. Sheila arrives on Friday the 25th of June on a journey that is not only a physical challenge, but a humanitarian one where she is raising money for cancer research.
