She hates exercise and believes the only reason to do it is for food, booze and box-sets on the sofa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, in her forties, following a succession of hard and sad life experiences she started to try and exercise her way out of heartbreak. She has now become one of the world’s most extraordinary endurance athletes. The first and only woman (currently) on the planet to have completed the ‘Sea, Street, Summit Challenge’ – which is to swim the English Channel, run the London Marathon and climb Mount Everest (which she calls Chomolungma – the mountain’s original Sherpa name). And possibly the only woman (although this can’t be officially certified) to have listened to eighty years and over 3,000 episodes of her favourite radio programme – \u003ci\u003eDesert Island Discs\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSave Me from the Waves \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eis an inspirational story of physical and mental endurance which starts on the streets of London and culminates on top of the world, fuelled by song.
