Fearless Blue Peter presenter Helen
Skelton made it to the South Pole in
just 18 days by ski, bike and kite,
bringing her epic, 500-mile
Antarctic expedition to a triumphant
close. For this gruelling challenge,
Helen travelled up to 14 hours a day
across the coldest and windiest
place on earth, battling blizzards
and sub-zero temperatures. If you're
inspired by Helen, you too can go
the extra mile by doing the Sport
Relief Mile on Sunday 25 March.
On the
27th February comedian John
Bishop took on a week of challenges

Paris to London in just five days.
So far John has raised £1,670,137.
