This year, BIA's Charity Partnership of the Year is Muscular Dystrophy and alongside some of my (braver!) colleagues, we braved the Peddle, Paddle, Peak challenge on 4 July. It's 34km cycle, followed by 3km kayak, followed by climbing Helvellyn through the clouds, wind and rain in the Lake District (yes in one day) tested us to our limits.

To add a further element of jeopardy, I also tackled the London-Brighton cycle ride 2 weeks beforehand in 30 degrees heat ...... So at least my cycling was up to scratch for Peddle :)
