Jessica

How are you feeling today?

Very relaxed - I’m at the hairdressers and just fell asleep whilst having my highlights done. Nails next. Wondering whether I dare go vampire dark red instead of girl-next-door natural.

What are you most proud of?

That a gym-loathing unlikely athlete like me became the first woman in the world to complete the ‘Sea, Street, Summit Challenge’ - swim the English Channel, run a road Marathon and climb Mount Everest. lt’s also inspired me to write two (now nearly three) books and they have been my most fulfilling achievement.
