My name is Sharon Mills. I am 49 years old and I am a Breast Cancer survivor. I was born in Wollongong. I now live in the Western port area with my partner of twenty-two years. I am a mother of two adult boys and a Grandmother of one.

In 2003, I discovered a lump in my right breast. I was scared and went through the normal procedures – such as a mammogram and ultrasound. The doctor was sure it was only a cyst but after an operation and the longest week in my life, the results showed cancer. A week after I had another operation and two more lumps were found as well as infected lymph nodes. I endured six months of chemotherapy and six weeks of daily radiation.

I developed clots on my lungs, but was lucky to get through that. To top it off, I got a rare blood disease that nearly took my life. Hospitals became my best friend! However, I pushed through against all odds to survive. I am grateful for my second chance at life and realise that unfortunately some people are not as lucky as me!

I am now an active member of Dan Hog and Ladies of Harley Motorcycle Clubs. I take pleasure in riding my Harley – participating in regular rides – and enjoying life to the full thanks to a second chance at life!

Taking part in the 2006 and 2007 Amazon heart thunder rides has given me the opportunity to share my experiences with other women, as well as to help raise awareness of how this devastating disease alters the lives of so many men and women around the world.

I feel honored and proud to be able to take part in this last ride in 2009 with Amazon Hearts.

I am looking forward to catching you all on the road.
