    Default Wild women Rosie Swale

    Having drifted off the subject on paper charts, and transgressed into Yachts, thought i would post the Wikipedia entry of Rosie Swales, who was some character as will be seen from the entry.

    Hi Keith.
    Probably read something about her but can't say I remember her, but a great read, must have had something to have done what people could only dream about. My last trip home went down to Tenby, used to go there on bus trips as a school boy.

    Mention of Prostate cancer in men.
    She did a great job in advocating for men to get early tests for it.
    This cancer kills more men than breast cancer kills women.
    Men do not look after their health as females do.

    The normal conclusion after reading a story like that, is that they don't make them like that any more. Fortunately they do, there are many heart warming stories of modern men and women doing heroic deed for charities with no thought or care for their selves.
