How many times have you heard it? “I’m going to lose weight this year.” “I’m going to stop smoking next year.” It’s all great but in my opinion it’s all a load of codswallop. Continue reading Why I Don’t Do New Years Resolutions
Plant yourself in the world you want to be a part of. Bex Band, the Ordinary Adventurer. For this reason, I drove to West Sussex alone, to camp in a field for 3 days, with a group of people I didn’t know during Storm Brian. Yestival is the brainchild of adventurer Dave Cornthwaite. This “self-propelled” man has completed fourteen 1,000-mile human-powered expeditions all over the … Continue reading Yestival 2017 – Event Review
When I posted my behind-the-scenes magazine shoot pictures with Health & Fitness Magazine on Facebook, they got quite a lot of love. In hindsight, this post might have been a little dramatic. I think I was tired – no surprise there then 😉 Click here to read how my day went.There’s also a video diary too …. Continue reading Health & Fitness Magazine Photoshoot
Whilst chatting to a friend the other day, they made the most bizarre comment about my fundraising for the Great British Row. Read what they had to say here! Continue reading Some Call It Luck
Who else is familiar with this? I’m not a doctor, neither am I a nutritionist so I urge you to take this post as one that is written by a layman. I did, however, suffer from Raynaud’s phenomenon for 14 years and now no longer suffer from it. Phenomenon – there is no known cause or cure. Before I delve into this more, let me … Continue reading 4 Ways to Cure Raynaud’s Phenomenon
Wed 03/05/17I’m struggling to take it all in. Could it be that I am finally feeling normal again? I haven’t felt like this in months! In fact, I forgot what it felt like. There was a part of me that was worried that I might never feel like normal again. I genuinely thought the amount of stress and pressure I’d put my brain under the … Continue reading I am NOT inspiring
20/04/17 After my last post, I figured it was only fair to deliver you a slightly more upbeat running commentary of my fundraising antics. Yesterday I secured a major sponsor! I am delighted to announce that eMoov will be the Lead Sponsor for my 1,800 mile rowing challenge around Great Britain! It hasn’t really sunk it yet.Have you ever wanted and worked for something so much, … Continue reading It Finally Happened!
That’s step 1 done.At least I got out of bed after 36 hours of festering in my own misery. In that time I didn’t open the curtains despite it being a wonderful sunny Good Friday. I didn’t eat. I barely drank anything and cried most of the time. I threw in some sleep for good measure but didn’t shower or brush my teeth. I’m still in … Continue reading The Secret Life of a Fundraiser
28/03/17The guys from Phoenix FM were celebrating their 10th birthday and hosting the show on the road, which was fascinating to see. A few bits of technology whizzed their voices and music across to 40,000 people in Essex. Incredible! I’d have imagined several vans parked outside with massive satellites attached to the roof but no, apparently all they needed was decent wifi. Check out my interview here: Continue reading Phoenix FM Interview before the Great British Row
21/03/17That was exciting! I just got interviewed on The Ronnie Barbour Show on BBC Essex Radio. After getting to grips with doing interviews on the Tough Girl podcast, I didn’t feel as nervous as I usually do and arrived all prepared with cue cards in case I got tongue tied. It turns out Ronnie didn’t even ask much about my rowing challenge. He had been delving into … Continue reading Radio Interview with BBC Essex
