I don't know Jenn other than as a brilliant writer and someone I've occasionally shared a couple of words or a nod with at various races over the years but she's always come across as a great person on the mtb scene.

I'm genuinely speechless. Not sure what else to add other than wishing her all the best.

I only met Jenn once on the E-bike shoot, and I would never have guessed it was this bad - she gave absolutely nothing away. Thoughts are with you all at the mag, but especially Tom and Jenn at this time.

Can't quite believe what I have just read.

She worked at my LBS in Worthing when I was first getting in to cycling. I always remember her general enthusiasm and bright personality as being truly infectious and she always had a smile on her face.

Such sad news ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

I've thought about this a bit more now. [url= http://helenblissblog.blogspot.co.uk/ ]A friend of mine has recently been fighting cancer[/url] too, not dissimilar age, healthy, cyclist, fit, unexpected, etc.

Something she said was that she's not brave - you have no choice in dealing with the shit. What I reckon though is that how you respond to it is a measure of the person and Jenn seems to be doing that brilliantly.

I remember Jenn in Quest, I had a very healthy debate over the merits of Enduro short liners. This sort of news never seems believable, just awful. So sad.

My Grandpa is possibly weeks away from the end too after being diagnosed with stomach cancer a few weeks ago. Thats after he lost my nan 28 years ago, the same week he retired, to the same disease.

Truly shitty disease.

****, bollocks, shit. Awful news.

Also sadly very similar to the situation my dad found himself in late last year. He kept going until the end though the hard bastard, cycled up the Long Mynd just before diagnosis of stage IV small cell alveolar cancer (he did complain a bit though, I thought he was just unfit *hollow laugh*), and was in the pits of an MTB race a week before passing away, and even mustered up the energy to shout at a commissare for not letting him bring a chair in. Not quite sure what my point is, I tend to ramble a bit when I'm upset.

Thinking of you Jenn, and remember the MTB community is too.

So sad to hear of anyone going through this. I've not met or spoken to Jenn but my thoughts are genuinely with her, her family and friends who will hopefully find the strength to cope with the next few months. If any of you do end up reading this then take strength from one another and be honest with your emotions. Let nothing that needs saying go unsaid.

That is absolutely gutting news. Jenn - many happy memories of you on the TransProvence when you were working as Mountain Staff. You brightened up our suffering!

Big love to you and your family.

Never met her, but been a subscriber for a number of years. She sounds like a great person. All to best to her, her family and to her very clearly wide circle of friends.

Will be buying a mug or two and a t-shirt when they're up on the site.

So sorry to hear this, the first reviewer I read when getting to Through the Grinder. Jenn's writing style is ace and it echoes in every issue.
Bought a mug but would be happy to buy a collected words when appropriate...

That would be a quite brilliant option for ongoing charity support. And I will miss the totally nailed Grinder reviews too - I already want some of the Vaude shoes from this issue!

Jenn - your Tour Divide article was the best thing I have ever read in the mag, so thank you.

Keep aiming for the twinkly lights,

+1

And IIRC she actually wrote it twice (but different) for two mags - I read both and they were both brilliant.
