0:00:09 > 0:00:11Suicide is really cruel,

0:00:11 > 0:00:14because you feel like there is so much

0:00:14 > 0:00:15you SHOULD have been able to do.

0:00:17 > 0:00:18Oh!

0:00:18 > 0:00:21Someone said to me, "There will come a time

0:00:21 > 0:00:24"when you can remember the love and the laughter,

0:00:24 > 0:00:26"and not so much the pain."

0:00:28 > 0:00:31Billy will always be in my heart, you know? Always.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33He's there, he's with me.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38If one person watched this,

0:00:38 > 0:00:42if one family was saved from going through that terrible loss,

0:00:42 > 0:00:45it would be worth it, you know? It would...

0:00:47 > 0:00:49It would be worth, you know, all of it.

0:00:52 > 0:00:57Zoe Ball lost her partner, Billy, to suicide.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03After one of the toughest years of her life,

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Zoe is taking on an epic solo challenge...

0:01:11 > 0:01:13..to raise money for Sport Relief...

0:01:16 > 0:01:18..to understand more about mental health...

0:01:20 > 0:01:22..and get people talking about it.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24It can be a very isolating experience,

0:01:24 > 0:01:27and you kind of feel, like, when you're going through it,

0:01:27 > 0:01:28that no-one understands.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30We look after our heart, our lungs -

0:01:30 > 0:01:33we need to be looking after our minds, as well.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36Men need to be a bit more chatty, like women.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Just want to sort of almost, like, tear it from yourself

0:01:38 > 0:01:41and just put it inside someone else, just to say,

0:01:41 > 0:01:44- "There you go."- That's how it feels. - "It's not that nice, is it?"

0:01:44 > 0:01:49Zoe will cycle 355 miles across the country...

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Look, in the heart of Liverpool...

0:01:53 > 0:01:56..and along the way, she'll meet other people,

0:01:56 > 0:02:00to find out what impact suicide and depression have had on their lives.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02Did you have any idea?

0:02:02 > 0:02:04No idea at all?

0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Just didn't know.- No. - Just didn't know it was coming.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12OK, I'll keep going. I can't go...

0:02:12 > 0:02:14I want to be challenged.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17I want to get some answers, I want to find some hope

0:02:17 > 0:02:19and some positivity.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Oh, God, that pain is hideous.

0:02:22 > 0:02:23Oh!

0:02:41 > 0:02:44The reason I'm doing this is for Billy.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48For people living with what he's gone through, for families,

0:02:48 > 0:02:50for loved ones going through this.

0:02:53 > 0:02:54From the first time they met,

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Zoe felt a deep connection to Billy Yates...

0:02:59 > 0:03:00He was the life and soul of a room.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03If he was on the crew when you were working on a show,

0:03:03 > 0:03:05everyone would be like, "Billy's here! Brilliant."

0:03:08 > 0:03:12He was such an intelligent man - he was really well-read.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14You know, he read all the philosophers,

0:03:14 > 0:03:18he had a real scientific mind, and, I mean, he would wow me.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22I would be lost in, you know, the stuff that he knew.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26..but only a few months into their relationship,

0:03:26 > 0:03:30the depression that Billy had struggled with for years returned.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35There were days where he could get up and he could get to work,

0:03:35 > 0:03:37he could sort of get through,

0:03:37 > 0:03:41but there were days where the only way to stop it

0:03:41 > 0:03:44was for him to just get back into bed

0:03:44 > 0:03:45and pull the covers over his head

0:03:45 > 0:03:47and hope that he could sleep through

0:03:47 > 0:03:49and wake up a little bit stronger later,

0:03:49 > 0:03:51and I think that's the thing,

0:03:51 > 0:03:53when you see the two sides of someone, you know,

0:03:53 > 0:03:55someone so strong, someone so clever,

0:03:55 > 0:04:00someone so full of love, yet struggling with this disease

0:04:00 > 0:04:05that was crippling him and taking him into a darker and darker place.

0:04:05 > 0:04:11Tragically... Billy took his own life.

0:04:11 > 0:04:16To do something for him, a beautiful, beautiful, loving man,

0:04:16 > 0:04:20whose life ended way too soon, you know?

0:04:20 > 0:04:23To do something for him, to be able to do something, is...

0:04:24 > 0:04:25..is a real special thing,

0:04:25 > 0:04:29and I feel really lucky to have that chance,

0:04:29 > 0:04:30so, I'm going to do my best -

0:04:30 > 0:04:32I think I'm going to have to dig very, very deep,

0:04:32 > 0:04:34it's going to be very, very emotional,

0:04:34 > 0:04:38but I'm also hoping to find some answers along the way.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44Zoe will attempt to cycle from Blackpool, where she was born,

0:04:44 > 0:04:49355 miles to her beloved hometown of Brighton.

0:04:51 > 0:04:58I have never put my body through any extreme exercise, ever.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02It's Olympian and professor of sports science Greg Whyte

0:05:02 > 0:05:05who's getting her up to speed.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08We've hit day one of training, and it is heavily raining,

0:05:08 > 0:05:10but, you know, this is exactly what Zoe has got to expect.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14It is going to be tough, the conditions add to the misery

0:05:14 > 0:05:17of actually cycling such a long distance,

0:05:17 > 0:05:20and, for Zoe, having never been on a road bike before,

0:05:20 > 0:05:22it is going to be tough.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24SHE GASPS

0:05:24 > 0:05:26I'd love to say loads of technical things about this bike -

0:05:26 > 0:05:29- I have no idea. Lights.- Lights. - Beautiful.- That's a start.

0:05:29 > 0:05:30Red for danger.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32THEY LAUGH

0:05:32 > 0:05:33As in, "Get out of the way,

0:05:33 > 0:05:36- "this woman has no clue what she's doing!"- "Stay back!"

0:05:38 > 0:05:39Blimey!

0:05:39 > 0:05:41Just before I go, where are the brakes?

0:05:41 > 0:05:43GREG LAUGHS

0:05:45 > 0:05:47I kind of know how huge it is,

0:05:47 > 0:05:51but I don't think I can really sort of fathom

0:05:51 > 0:05:53how huge a challenge it is yet.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55- We're going to push off, push down. - Push off...

0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Push down, push down. - Push down.- Give it some speed.- OK.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59- OK, good.- OK...

0:05:59 > 0:06:03Taking on a cycle challenge to raise awareness for mental health

0:06:03 > 0:06:06has a special significance for Zoe, after Billy.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10He cycled his bike to and from work every day.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Sometimes he'd do 40 miles -

0:06:12 > 0:06:16but I think the real moment that I could see, suddenly,

0:06:16 > 0:06:19it was like, "Oh, my goodness, I think I understand,"

0:06:19 > 0:06:26was where he said, "Zo, I feel like I've forgotten how to ride my bike."

0:06:26 > 0:06:32You know, he couldn't ride his bike, he doubted that he could...

0:06:33 > 0:06:35..do something that he'd done his whole life,

0:06:35 > 0:06:37since he was a little boy.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Just this, you know,

0:06:39 > 0:06:44made him doubt that he could even ride his bike - and that really...

0:06:47 > 0:06:49..that really stayed with me.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Definitely waterproof mascara.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Yes.- Cos you're cycling into it. - I hadn't even thought of that.

0:06:58 > 0:06:59- How I'm going to look.- Oh...!

0:06:59 > 0:07:01I'm going to have helmet hair, it's going to be horrific.

0:07:01 > 0:07:06I'm going to be wearing Lycra, and I'm going to have a padded bottom,

0:07:06 > 0:07:07so, I think, you know...

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Well, welcome to the world of padded bottoms.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11I've got my own padding!

0:07:18 > 0:07:20I knew, with this experience,

0:07:20 > 0:07:22she would want to try and move forward

0:07:22 > 0:07:26and help other people who might be facing the same thing,

0:07:26 > 0:07:29whether it's families - cos this does have a ripple effect.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31So, she's going to be quite determined

0:07:31 > 0:07:34that something very positive will come out of this.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40It is so tough. When you have little moments of thinking, "OK," you know?

0:07:40 > 0:07:44"All right..." You're sort of making improvements

0:07:44 > 0:07:48and you're getting a bit stronger, and then you think about how far,

0:07:48 > 0:07:51and it all comes crashing down to reality.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58There's a lot of emotions in this whole challenge.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01Yeah. Sometimes you've just got to take a little moment,

0:08:01 > 0:08:03have a little cry, let it out, you know?

0:08:07 > 0:08:09That's it for now, I'm back with more in an hour.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Now, Miss Ball...- How are you, Sal? - How is the training going?

0:08:12 > 0:08:13Oh... You know what?

0:08:13 > 0:08:17You even bringing the subject up, it makes my tummy flip with nerves!

0:08:17 > 0:08:19I'm really scared, I'm really scared.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21What's the longest that you've cycled so far?

0:08:21 > 0:08:25I did 54 miles - I did, like, a 30, then a 37, then a 54,

0:08:25 > 0:08:28- and then followed it with a 20. - But you're a fit girl.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31You are a fit girl. You know, you've got a lot of energy and stamina.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Stop saying you're not - you are. - I'm really not!- You are.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36But it's all going to be brilliant - and thank you so much,

0:08:36 > 0:08:39people are already sending money to Sport Relief, so, thank you,

0:08:39 > 0:08:41and being really supportive, and I might see you along the way,

0:08:41 > 0:08:44so, if you're anywhere between Blackpool and Brighton,

0:08:44 > 0:08:47- along the route, come and say hello. - Give her a clap and a wave.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Give us a wave, or throw me some Jelly Babies.

0:08:49 > 0:08:50I don't know, anything you fancy.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Sure you don't fancy it, Sal?- Er... - There's always room for one more.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56I'm really busy next week....

0:08:56 > 0:08:58She's only had a few weeks to prepare,

0:08:58 > 0:09:00but it's now the day before the challenge,

0:09:00 > 0:09:03and Zoe is making her way to Blackpool.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08I used to love coming to Blackpool when I was a little girl.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12Firstly, to see my grandparents, who I completely loved and adored,

0:09:12 > 0:09:15and I just thought the place was a wonderland.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22My grandparents are gone from this place,

0:09:22 > 0:09:26and it's quite close to Billy's family and his home,

0:09:26 > 0:09:30and there was sort of no getting away from the fact that I'm here,

0:09:30 > 0:09:32the time is now,

0:09:32 > 0:09:35and I've actually got to do it now.

0:09:36 > 0:09:37This is the start.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40She's got a very, very tough challenge ahead of her,

0:09:40 > 0:09:43a lot of miles to do in very difficult conditions.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46It is no walk in the park.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48- Hey!- Hello!

0:09:48 > 0:09:49Hey, boss!

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Oh, my goodness me.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54- The sun was out earlier - did you see?- No.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58- The sun doesn't exist at this time of year.- It's gone again!

0:09:58 > 0:09:59Oh, look!

0:09:59 > 0:10:03- She's beautiful, isn't she? - Well, yes - you say that now!

0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Am I really going to fall out with this bike?- You are, you are.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08THEY LAUGH

0:10:08 > 0:10:11- This is the best night of the week. - Is it?- Yeah!

0:10:11 > 0:10:13- The night before. - Cos it's the night before!

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Tomorrow will be the best of the days this week,

0:10:17 > 0:10:20because it's day number one, lots of energy.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24We're going to take it steady, steady, so, it's going to be good.

0:10:24 > 0:10:25You ready?

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Ready as I'll ever be!

0:10:27 > 0:10:29All right, great, thanks, guys.

0:10:29 > 0:10:30APPLAUSE

0:10:36 > 0:10:38I'm really quite scared.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41I didn't know I could be this scared.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45So, you can have this incredible team around you,

0:10:45 > 0:10:50you can have all this support, and all this love coming at you,

0:10:50 > 0:10:55but I'm the one who's got to actually live up to this now.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Everyone has a bit of doubt in your own abilities,

0:10:58 > 0:10:59and we're quite good at going,

0:10:59 > 0:11:01"Yeah, I can do this, I can do that, I can do this."

0:11:01 > 0:11:04I'm not an athlete, I'm not a person who runs marathons, you know?

0:11:04 > 0:11:08I think that's the thing. Everyone's like, "You can do this.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11"You can do this," and they're looking at me, going, "Can't you?

0:11:11 > 0:11:13"You can do this, can't you?"

0:11:13 > 0:11:16and I'm looking, now, going, "Yeah, yeah, of course...!"

0:11:16 > 0:11:20And I'm actually thinking, "Can I do this?"

0:11:20 > 0:11:21Oh, God, I hope I can,

0:11:21 > 0:11:26cos otherwise I'm going to let a lot of people down, and that's...

0:11:26 > 0:11:28..that's quite a big thing at the moment. Can I do it?

0:11:30 > 0:11:31God, I hope so.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39KNOCK AT DOOR

0:11:41 > 0:11:42- Morning, Dot!- Hey!- Come in, come in.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44It has arrived.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46- Look, smiley face.- I know. - First day.- Yeah.

0:11:46 > 0:11:47You can tell it's only the first day.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50We'll see what Tuesday's like, Wednesday's like.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52She was really, really looking forward to this.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53I think she's done the hard work,

0:11:53 > 0:11:54she's done the training.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57This week, she's going to find out whether it's paid off.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Waiting down at the start

0:12:00 > 0:12:03are two people who are especially touched by Zoe's challenge.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Billy was one of my best mates.

0:12:07 > 0:12:11And losing him was...

0:12:11 > 0:12:14..the worst thing that I've ever gone through and the effect was

0:12:14 > 0:12:15so profound on all of us

0:12:15 > 0:12:18that to support her doing this is a no-brainer.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Of course, we're all going to be here.

0:12:20 > 0:12:24We are so proud of her and we're so thankful to her for doing it

0:12:24 > 0:12:27because we know it's going to help people.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29I hope that what she's doing

0:12:29 > 0:12:33and the awareness she can bring to, you know, suicide

0:12:33 > 0:12:36and mental health will help people

0:12:36 > 0:12:40and if we can save someone like Billy, then, you know, it's good.

0:12:40 > 0:12:41It's a good thing.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50How are you feeling? Morning, Zoe.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Morning, all the BBC Breakfast viewers.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56I'm feeling every kind of emotion you can imagine.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59All this talk, all this training, all this eating the right stuff,

0:12:59 > 0:13:01all the padded pants...

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Now I just want to get on the road and start, you know,

0:13:04 > 0:13:09- bringing some money in, hopefully. - Good luck, Zoe!- Thank you so much.

0:13:09 > 0:13:10Let's go!

0:13:10 > 0:13:14- CHEERING - Thank you! Get my cleat in.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Come on!

0:13:16 > 0:13:18With five hard days' cycling ahead of her,

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Zoe sets off on the first leg of her journey -

0:13:22 > 0:13:2572 miles through Lancashire to Widnes.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Thank you so much for coming out.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30It means the world. Take care.

0:13:31 > 0:13:32Morning, runners!

0:13:32 > 0:13:34Lovely, looking good there.

0:13:34 > 0:13:35Thank you, my love.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Morning, sir.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39- INDISTINCT - Thank you!

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Next stop, Liverpool.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Off to the 'Pool.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55Hello, my loves. Thank you.

0:13:56 > 0:13:57Liverpool, we love you.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Oh, hang on. Oh, hang on, cleats.

0:14:01 > 0:14:02Shit.

0:14:03 > 0:14:04Cleat got stuck.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10Just got a bit friendly with that van.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Yay!

0:14:12 > 0:14:15First bit. First bit done.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17And we had sunshine.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21That's amazing, to have sunshine. Do you know what?

0:14:21 > 0:14:23It's been really quite pleasant this morning.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26People coming out to wave hello, beautiful bit of sunshine,

0:14:26 > 0:14:29lovely sea views and, yeah...

0:14:29 > 0:14:30All right, desperate for a wee.

0:14:32 > 0:14:37As Zoe approaches Widnes, waiting for her are the Widnes Vikings

0:14:37 > 0:14:39rugby league team, who are passionate

0:14:39 > 0:14:41about men's mental health.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43- WOMAN:- Good luck, Zoe! - Thanks, lovely...

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Watching Zoe do something like this, such a big challenge,

0:14:46 > 0:14:47will just get people involved,

0:14:47 > 0:14:50get people to understand what's going on in men's mental health

0:14:50 > 0:14:53and also to contribute and to help people around the country.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Oi-oi!- Come on, lads.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58It's the cavalry.

0:14:58 > 0:14:59Come on, then, boys.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02Oh! You've made my day.

0:15:02 > 0:15:03Hello, my darlings.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06- How are you?- Good.- Oh, my God.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08You're a sight for sore eyes.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11- I love Greg.- She's sick of me! She's sick of me.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14- I've listened to him all day. - GREG LAUGHS

0:15:15 > 0:15:19The Vikings rugby team help push Zoe to the finish line

0:15:19 > 0:15:21at the end of the first day, at their stadium.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29We're part of Runcorn Cycling Group and we're here today just to

0:15:29 > 0:15:32show our support to a fellow lady cyclist.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34I just think what she's doing is absolutely brilliant.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36She's such an inspiration.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39We think what Zoe is doing is amazing.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42- We love her, we support everything she does.- We like her.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45We're her number-one fans!

0:15:45 > 0:15:49CHEERING

0:15:49 > 0:15:52This is now officially the furthest I've ever cycled.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Hello, guys!

0:15:54 > 0:15:58Hiya! How are you? Oh...

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Oh, that's amazing. Wow.

0:16:01 > 0:16:02Thank you, come here.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05Oh! What a brilliant thing to do.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08I'm just having a little cry. Brilliant.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Oh, I know, it's just amazing what she's doing.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12We jumped in for the home straight, so, you know,

0:16:12 > 0:16:15I could feel it just on that little bit there.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17Get in, boys. Everyone get in.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20There we go. Hey!

0:16:20 > 0:16:22As a club, we put ourselves at the centre of the community

0:16:22 > 0:16:23and we feel it's really relevant

0:16:23 > 0:16:25to help men.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27We can help youngsters that need some kind of support

0:16:27 > 0:16:30through our community and through our club.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33We don't speak a lot in our game and our profession.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35It's all about that, throwing that toughness up.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Sometimes they don't need a chat, they just need to listen to

0:16:37 > 0:16:40someone else and feel like they've got a friend.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42CHEERING

0:16:42 > 0:16:44Brilliant. Good work. Thank you.

0:16:48 > 0:16:49Oh...

0:16:51 > 0:16:53Cycling into the stadium was...

0:16:53 > 0:16:56That's a moment I'll never forget. I'll never forget that moment.

0:16:56 > 0:17:00It was incredible and really emotional, I think.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02Relieved to have made it to the end of day one,

0:17:02 > 0:17:04but also to get that welcome.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07Yeah, meant the world.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09I liked that.

0:17:13 > 0:17:17It's 7am and Zoe's back in the saddle.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Three, two, one and go.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Off we go again!

0:17:22 > 0:17:27Thanks, boys. Really lovely to meet you. Thank you, darlings.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Make sure you get that picture with the rugby players.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Nice to meet you all.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33- And we're off.- We're off.

0:17:33 > 0:17:34- Day two.- Day two.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45Great work, well done. That's really strong.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48But before she leaves the north-west,

0:17:48 > 0:17:49there's someone waiting for her

0:17:49 > 0:17:52who knows an awful lot about Sport Relief challenges.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55When you're in the middle of one of these challenges,

0:17:55 > 0:17:58people turning up gives you a boost. I remember myself.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01And when I realised Zoe was so close to where I live,

0:18:01 > 0:18:04because I'm only half an hour away, I just thought I'd nip down.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Hello. Thanks for having us.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Sorry to interrupt your lovely quiet coffee morning.

0:18:15 > 0:18:16Hey!

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Oh, my God, I don't believe it.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Oh, my goodness me. How are you?

0:18:22 > 0:18:24- How are you? It's only now... - How are you?

0:18:24 > 0:18:27..that I understand what you all went through.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Will I make it?- You will.- Yeah?

0:18:30 > 0:18:35You will because you just... All of this, disappears.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38All of this, you lose, just forget all this and then

0:18:38 > 0:18:40when it gets to Thursday and Friday, you're just going home.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Just going home. - You're just heading home.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45- And you just forget everyone and you just focus on you.- OK.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Ladies and gentlemen, Mr John Bishop.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50CHEERING

0:18:50 > 0:18:51Thank you.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53See you later. Thank you.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Brilliant.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58Well, the thing is, when you're doing something like this,

0:18:58 > 0:19:00and this is something that I've spoken to a number of people

0:19:00 > 0:19:04who have done the challenges - Jo, David, Davina -

0:19:04 > 0:19:07sometimes seeing somebody you know has done it as well,

0:19:07 > 0:19:10it does give you a little a little boost, I think.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12- Hopefully, anyway.- Here we go.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14John, thank you, darling.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17Thank you so much. Thank you, bye, Jane.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Oh, look! Look, primary school kids.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24Thank you so much! Thank you!

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Love you.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28Only about 270 miles.

0:19:28 > 0:19:29Thank you.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34The route south takes Zoe through the walled city of Chester...

0:19:36 > 0:19:37Hello.

0:19:39 > 0:19:40All right, gang?

0:19:41 > 0:19:44..and out into the Cheshire countryside.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Yay, Zoe!

0:19:46 > 0:19:49So, we found out this morning that Zoe Ball will be cycling

0:19:49 > 0:19:51through the village this afternoon, so we brought our whole school out

0:19:51 > 0:19:53to support Zoe.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56Hello! How are you doing?

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Oh!

0:19:58 > 0:20:02That is amazing cheerleading! Hello!

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Nice to see you all.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05Bye!

0:20:08 > 0:20:10The support is overwhelming.

0:20:13 > 0:20:19And the reason she set out on this journey is never far from her mind.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23I think the whole situation of what happened to Billy

0:20:23 > 0:20:24is quite unbelievable.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27There are times when I think...

0:20:27 > 0:20:29..where I can't really believe he's gone.

0:20:33 > 0:20:34I knew...

0:20:36 > 0:20:37..how much pain he was in.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43He couldn't make sense of what was happening to him.

0:20:43 > 0:20:49I could almost see... It's sort of like a change in the lights,

0:20:49 > 0:20:53you could see the pain almost come into his eyes.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56You'd want to say, "Come on, stay with me, stay with me.

0:20:59 > 0:21:03"Let's find something positive, something joyous,

0:21:03 > 0:21:05"let's get you out of this headspace."

0:21:05 > 0:21:07And it was harder and harder to do that.

0:21:13 > 0:21:14Two months ago,

0:21:14 > 0:21:17Zoe went to talk to someone who had suffered a similar loss.

0:21:19 > 0:21:26In 2012, Jamie Johnson took his own life when he was only 19.

0:21:26 > 0:21:30We went out to Turkey and we were having a lovely holiday.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33You know, Jamie was having a great time with his brothers.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35In fact, my husband and I did say to each other,

0:21:35 > 0:21:37"It's the happiest he's ever been."

0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Penny.- Zoe. Come on in.- Give us a hug.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47- So, this is Jamie here. - Oh, bless him.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50- There's my boy. - There's your boy.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53- He's lovely, isn't he? - He is a gorgeous one.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56- That was just a couple of days before.- Before?- Yeah.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Happy behind the bar, working away.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04- Hadn't a clue.- I was going to say, did you have any idea?- Did you?

0:22:04 > 0:22:06No idea at all.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10Just didn't know. Just didn't know it was coming.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13On the actual day, we were three days into our holiday

0:22:13 > 0:22:16and I said to my brother, "Do you know where Jamie is?"

0:22:16 > 0:22:17He said, "Oh, he's gone up to the room."

0:22:17 > 0:22:20I thought, "Yeah, another afternoon sleeping it off."

0:22:20 > 0:22:23Anyway, we all spent the afternoon by the pool,

0:22:23 > 0:22:25really enjoying ourselves,

0:22:25 > 0:22:27and about four o'clock, my brother,

0:22:27 > 0:22:30who was sharing the room with Jamie, went up to get changed,

0:22:30 > 0:22:34took his son up to get changed... My nephew was with us.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36..and he opened the door and found him.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45It was just pure shock and pure disbelief for a few months.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50Tell me more about Jamie.

0:22:50 > 0:22:55He made me laugh, he made... He was bright.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58You know, he was the life and soul of school,

0:22:58 > 0:22:59not always to his...

0:22:59 > 0:23:02- ..his teachers' delight. - Yeah.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05He just went from this happy-go-lucky lad to...

0:23:05 > 0:23:07I don't know. He was just sad.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09His self-esteem was nowhere.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11"Oh, what does it matter? What does it matter?"

0:23:11 > 0:23:12He was just, like, giving up.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15Suicide is really cruel

0:23:15 > 0:23:17because there's...

0:23:17 > 0:23:22You feel like there's so much you should have been able to do.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26How can this wonderful person get to a point where

0:23:26 > 0:23:31they would feel that everybody would be better off with them not here

0:23:31 > 0:23:34or that they were a burden?

0:23:34 > 0:23:38I remember turning up at his funeral and thinking,

0:23:38 > 0:23:40- "Jamie would love this." - He would love this.

0:23:40 > 0:23:44Yeah. All those people. All that love in the room there.

0:23:44 > 0:23:49Yeah. And we need to let people know that while they're still here.

0:23:50 > 0:23:54And, you know, just a little text message, a little anything,

0:23:54 > 0:23:57- just to make people know that they're loved.- They're loved.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01How...how are your two boys?

0:24:01 > 0:24:04The little one, he struggled the most. He was ten when it happened.

0:24:06 > 0:24:07My husband goes upstairs

0:24:07 > 0:24:10four or five times a night and checks on them.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12They're 16 and 21 now.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16- Just to check they're OK because just that shock of finding...- Yeah.

0:24:17 > 0:24:21Making sure that they're OK every minute. It's really hard.

0:24:21 > 0:24:29- You're amazing. You're amazing. - Thank you.- Oh, goodness me.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33After Jamie's death, Penny struggled to find support,

0:24:33 > 0:24:36so she helped found The Tomorrow Project

0:24:36 > 0:24:37as part of Harmless,

0:24:37 > 0:24:40an organisation funded by Sport Relief donations,

0:24:40 > 0:24:44offering help to bereaved families and those at risk of suicide.

0:24:45 > 0:24:49I think if it hadn't been for the project, The Tomorrow Project,

0:24:49 > 0:24:52at the beginning, that gave me a real purpose in life,

0:24:52 > 0:24:54and the team giving me my counselling

0:24:54 > 0:24:57and supporting me emotionally,

0:24:57 > 0:25:00without those two, I don't think I'd be here.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04I just feel that the project saved me

0:25:04 > 0:25:09and it needs to be able to help others.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13There are around 6,000 suicides across the UK every year

0:25:13 > 0:25:18and people right now who are experiencing mental health problems.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21Money raised by Sport Relief is helping to fund

0:25:21 > 0:25:25projects across the country that can offer hope.

0:26:01 > 0:26:02Oh.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05Thank you very much. Hello!

0:26:05 > 0:26:08Look, cyclists! Cyclists!

0:26:08 > 0:26:11Thank you, my love. Oh!

0:26:11 > 0:26:15And at today's finish just outside Shrewsbury...

0:26:17 > 0:26:22..the whole village of Upton Magna have turned out to welcome Zoe.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25Men are suffering a lot more with emotional health, mental health

0:26:25 > 0:26:27and they do need a lot more support

0:26:27 > 0:26:29and men need to get that out there and talk about it.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31A bit like prostate cancer.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33They need to be supportive and stick together.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35They need to be a bit more chatty, like women.

0:26:37 > 0:26:38We look after our heart, our lungs.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41We need to be looking after our minds as well.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43Say, "Well done, Zoe."

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Well done, Zoe.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48I think it's been an amazing thing for the village for people to

0:26:48 > 0:26:52gather together and to realise that even though some people may

0:26:52 > 0:26:55feel that that community spirit has gone from some of our villages

0:26:55 > 0:26:59that actually it is really prevalent and is thriving.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Come on, Zoe!

0:27:01 > 0:27:02CHEERING

0:27:06 > 0:27:09- CHANTING:- Zoe! Zoe! Zoe!

0:27:09 > 0:27:12There's a pub. Brilliant.

0:27:12 > 0:27:13CHEERING

0:27:15 > 0:27:18Hello! Hi! How are you?

0:27:19 > 0:27:22Hello, sir. How are you?

0:27:22 > 0:27:24Hello. How are you? What's your name? Oh!

0:27:26 > 0:27:28See you later. Thank you.

0:27:28 > 0:27:32Oh! Thank you. Oh, brilliant.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37OK. One, two...

0:27:38 > 0:27:40Just get it in.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42- Do it. Just do it, yeah? - Yeah.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Takes your breath away.

0:27:49 > 0:27:53I had a really lovely point in the day with Greg

0:27:53 > 0:27:56where we were actually quite quiet

0:27:56 > 0:27:58and we had a really big sort of think

0:27:58 > 0:28:03as we went through this beautiful, beautiful countryside in Shropshire

0:28:03 > 0:28:05and it was so peaceful,

0:28:05 > 0:28:10and just thinking about Billy and Penny and all the people

0:28:10 > 0:28:14that we're hoping we're going to help by doing this challenge,

0:28:14 > 0:28:18and it was really good to spend some time with those thoughts.

0:28:18 > 0:28:22To think, that's why we're doing it. Remember why we're doing it.

0:28:35 > 0:28:39Still three days to go and we've got the hilliest sections.

0:28:39 > 0:28:43I mean, the really tough riding is still yet to come.

0:28:43 > 0:28:44Look who we ran in to.

0:28:44 > 0:28:48- Biked in to.- I know. I biked in to Harry Judd.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53Pop star and Strictly Come Dancing winner Harry Judd

0:28:53 > 0:28:56is joining Zoe for the first stage of today's ride.

0:28:56 > 0:28:58Fingers crossed I won't fall

0:28:58 > 0:29:01and I'll hopefully just add a bit of support for Zoe today,

0:29:01 > 0:29:03who's doing an amazing thing.

0:29:03 > 0:29:04Lead the way. All right, guys.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06Thank you!

0:29:06 > 0:29:08Off we go.

0:29:08 > 0:29:11Isn't it amazing to see all these people wishing you well?

0:29:11 > 0:29:14I've done about 100 metres and I'm taking all the praise.

0:29:14 > 0:29:16Yeah, thank you! "Keep going, Harry!"

0:29:18 > 0:29:19But only two miles out of town

0:29:19 > 0:29:22is one of the toughest hills they'll face.

0:29:22 > 0:29:25Remember, don't attack it. Nice and steady.

0:29:26 > 0:29:27Look at Harry.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29He's not even breaking a sweat.

0:29:31 > 0:29:32Good.

0:29:32 > 0:29:35The hills, I knew they were coming

0:29:35 > 0:29:37but you're already fatigued and quite tired.

0:29:39 > 0:29:42But I have to say, Harry, on the hills, he is the man.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45He's brilliant and he fired ahead and I think that's the thing,

0:29:45 > 0:29:47I was like, "Yeah, come on, I can do this."

0:29:49 > 0:29:51Really dig in now. Really focus.

0:29:51 > 0:29:55But a hill on a bend, that's my nemesis.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57Push, push, push, push, push.

0:29:57 > 0:30:00All the strength you've got. You get to recover in 100 metres.

0:30:00 > 0:30:01Struggling.

0:30:01 > 0:30:04You're going well, you're going well, you're going well, Zoe.

0:30:04 > 0:30:05- Shit!- Stop, stop, stop.- Oh!

0:30:07 > 0:30:08Ah...

0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Oh, shit.- You're doing properly...

0:30:12 > 0:30:13Oh, God.

0:30:13 > 0:30:18- It's good. It's a tough hill, properly tough hill.- It's tough.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21I think pride's hurt a bit

0:30:21 > 0:30:22but I'm OK.

0:30:22 > 0:30:26It does put a bit of fear in you, though, that thing, I think once

0:30:26 > 0:30:29you've fallen it's like, "Oh, no, please don't let that happen again."

0:30:30 > 0:30:33- Three, two, one, go.- Oi, oi, oi!

0:30:33 > 0:30:35That was tough. That was hideous.

0:30:35 > 0:30:36Hideous!

0:30:36 > 0:30:38Harry's actually in Stratford.

0:30:42 > 0:30:45When she finally catches up with him, Zoe's curious about

0:30:45 > 0:30:48Harry's past struggles with his own mental health.

0:30:49 > 0:30:53What helped you the most in your most troubling time?

0:30:53 > 0:30:57For me, just that kind of support system of, you know,

0:30:57 > 0:30:59close friends and family.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02I feel lucky in that I've always been comfortable

0:31:02 > 0:31:03- being open about it...- Yeah.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06When I first went to see a doctor, I was very frightened,

0:31:06 > 0:31:08I didn't know what was going on and he just explained it, he said,

0:31:08 > 0:31:11"Look, Harry, it's very similar to someone who has a broken leg.

0:31:11 > 0:31:14"You know, it's broken and it takes time to heal."

0:31:14 > 0:31:18And that made me realise it's OK, and actually it's completely normal.

0:31:18 > 0:31:20It's not nice but it's normal.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23You know, the thing with mental health is it's a very isolating

0:31:23 > 0:31:27experience and you kind of feel like, when you're going through it,

0:31:27 > 0:31:31that no-one understands and you're the only person going through it.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34Particularly for men, we sometimes find it hard to open up

0:31:34 > 0:31:39but I think it's actually braver to be able to speak out and be honest

0:31:39 > 0:31:43than it is to hide and not say something, to be truthful, so...

0:31:45 > 0:31:47Whilst Billy was battling with depression,

0:31:47 > 0:31:50Zoe had struggled to find the right place to seek help.

0:31:52 > 0:31:54During her time in Nottingham,

0:31:54 > 0:31:57she visited the project that Penny had helped to set up.

0:31:57 > 0:32:01Supported by Sport Relief, it offers a safe place to talk.

0:32:01 > 0:32:05She'll be asking, "Has Daddy been sick, has he...?"

0:32:05 > 0:32:07And it's just, it's a hard thing to...

0:32:07 > 0:32:11Then trying to explain that, it was quite difficult

0:32:11 > 0:32:14putting it into a way that a child would understand.

0:32:14 > 0:32:18Since losing Billy, so many people have talked to me

0:32:18 > 0:32:22through social media or friends or friends of friends,

0:32:22 > 0:32:28and it seems that everybody you meet has been touched by mental illness.

0:32:29 > 0:32:33How do you help a loved one?

0:32:33 > 0:32:38I'd love to think that there is something that you can do

0:32:38 > 0:32:42to help someone you love, in that situation.

0:32:43 > 0:32:48Run by Caroline Harroe at Harmless, The Tomorrow Project offers

0:32:48 > 0:32:52support and hope to those at risk of suicide, and their families.

0:32:52 > 0:32:54If we can create another tomorrow.

0:32:54 > 0:32:57That's why The Tomorrow Project is called what it is.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00If we can get somebody through that extra night, then we've created

0:33:00 > 0:33:03hope, we've created another day in which we can do something with that.

0:33:03 > 0:33:05We can provide support,

0:33:05 > 0:33:08we can challenge some of the difficulties people face.

0:33:08 > 0:33:12Men are three times more likely than women to take their own lives,

0:33:12 > 0:33:15with men in their early 40s at the highest risk.

0:33:15 > 0:33:19So sessions like these can be a crucial lifeline.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22There'll be some days where getting out of bed, you know,

0:33:22 > 0:33:25is just an absolute nightmare.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28You only have to do it because you need to get to the toilet.

0:33:28 > 0:33:31The depression and anxiety's still there but it's a lot more,

0:33:31 > 0:33:34much more manageable, thanks to these guys, so...

0:33:34 > 0:33:37For Zoe, it was hard to really understand

0:33:37 > 0:33:39what Billy was going through.

0:33:39 > 0:33:43- Will, you come here, you live with depression.- Yeah.

0:33:43 > 0:33:48How does depression feel in your head, for you?

0:33:48 > 0:33:52For anyone who doesn't live with it, it's so difficult

0:33:52 > 0:33:55- for other people to understand. - Yeah, I mean...

0:33:55 > 0:33:56It's so crippling sometimes.

0:33:56 > 0:33:59You know, obviously you've good days, bad days, things like that.

0:33:59 > 0:34:03But when you're talking to people that have never experienced it,

0:34:03 > 0:34:07never experienced depression, never experienced that sort of anxiety,

0:34:07 > 0:34:11and kind of think, "What are you talking about?" You know, "Just get on with it",

0:34:11 > 0:34:13You just want to almost tear it from yourself

0:34:13 > 0:34:17and put it inside someone else, just to say, "There you go."

0:34:17 > 0:34:19- That's how it feels. - "It's not that nice, is it?"

0:34:19 > 0:34:21- Yeah.- Just so they know what I'm talking about. So, yeah,

0:34:21 > 0:34:24but then, you know, gradually you do come out of it,

0:34:24 > 0:34:27you do come out the other end,

0:34:27 > 0:34:30because there are services out there, like The Tomorrow Project,

0:34:30 > 0:34:32which is just brilliant. Yeah.

0:34:34 > 0:34:38It's thanks to projects like these that people living with depression

0:34:38 > 0:34:40are able to access the help they need.

0:34:40 > 0:34:43So, Colin, you're looking after a lot of men, specifically,

0:34:43 > 0:34:47and they've got to be quite brave to take that first step.

0:34:47 > 0:34:49Oh, it's massive. That first conversation

0:34:49 > 0:34:52is one of the most important things, then we can go on from there.

0:34:52 > 0:34:53So that might be in their home,

0:34:53 > 0:34:56- it could be in a pub, a park. - It could be pub, park -

0:34:56 > 0:34:58it's about giving that opportunity to say,

0:34:58 > 0:35:01"It's fine, I can meet you there, we don't have to rush into things,

0:35:01 > 0:35:04"there's going to be no spotlight on you. We're just going to have a conversation"

0:35:04 > 0:35:06and I think it's so important.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08I think that's great for people watching this to hear as well,

0:35:08 > 0:35:11that it's not necessarily going to be in that first meeting.

0:35:11 > 0:35:16- No.- It might take a few meetings for someone to feel safe,

0:35:16 > 0:35:21to feel they can trust you, to feel that it's OK to start opening up.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23They've got the opportunity to take their time

0:35:23 > 0:35:25and move things forward for themselves, that space.

0:35:28 > 0:35:31To see first-hand the people they're helping and the difference

0:35:31 > 0:35:35it has made to their lives, it's just quite incredible.

0:35:35 > 0:35:38We need there to be more places like that,

0:35:38 > 0:35:41and then everybody can get the help and support that they need.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43Wouldn't that be wonderful if that could happen?

0:35:52 > 0:35:57- Is that hail? Hail or rain? - No, that's rain.- It is rain?- Rain.

0:35:57 > 0:36:00Back on the road, the weather is starting to close in.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03Actually, that is hail.

0:36:03 > 0:36:05I might not need an ice bath now.

0:36:06 > 0:36:09Just let the hail do it.

0:36:09 > 0:36:12But not far from the finish in Stratford-upon-Avon,

0:36:12 > 0:36:15the dancers from Strictly have arrived.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17Ooh, the dresses are here!

0:36:17 > 0:36:21- They're so sparkly.- Very colourful.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24- Every colour you can imagine in that.- Zoe's not going to miss us.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26No, the Zoe all-in-one outfit!

0:36:26 > 0:36:29I think she's going to be surprised that we're all here

0:36:29 > 0:36:33but she adores Strictly, so I think that when she sees all the dresses

0:36:33 > 0:36:34and we're all there

0:36:34 > 0:36:37shouting her on, she's going to be so, so happy,

0:36:37 > 0:36:38so I can't wait to see her face!

0:36:40 > 0:36:42HORN HONKS

0:36:42 > 0:36:44- Yes!- Yes!- Thank you!

0:36:44 > 0:36:47- Toot from the fire engine. - Toot from the firemen.

0:36:47 > 0:36:49That goes a long way.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51After a gruelling 68-mile cycle,

0:36:51 > 0:36:54Zoe has completed day three of the challenge.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56CHEERING

0:36:57 > 0:37:00- Guys, I don't know but I think we're going to be late.- Come on!

0:37:00 > 0:37:03And there's a sequinned surprise waiting for her in reception.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06Where's the door? It's an automatic door.

0:37:07 > 0:37:10MUSIC: Strictly Come Dancing theme

0:37:12 > 0:37:15Oh, my goodness! Aah!

0:37:15 > 0:37:17Oh, my God! Yes! Aah!

0:37:19 > 0:37:22Oh, I don't believe it.

0:37:27 > 0:37:30This is the best. This is the best day ever!

0:37:30 > 0:37:31Oh...

0:37:33 > 0:37:36I love you all. Oh, my God!

0:37:37 > 0:37:38It's been a really tough day

0:37:38 > 0:37:42and did you see my whole body just, like, I could walk again!

0:37:42 > 0:37:44It was, like, the miracle of dance.

0:37:44 > 0:37:48These faces, they're really... Oh, it's just totally lifted me.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50I think Zoe is a person

0:37:50 > 0:37:51who brings to everyone joy.

0:37:51 > 0:37:55She wants to give love to everyone, happiness, and she always,

0:37:55 > 0:37:57when I used to do the show with her,

0:37:57 > 0:38:00she always tried to make you feel comfortable, happy

0:38:00 > 0:38:01and create a good atmosphere.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03We chose it.

0:38:05 > 0:38:08It means so much, it really, really does,

0:38:08 > 0:38:11and they are like family, they're like family,

0:38:11 > 0:38:13so what an amazing treat.

0:38:13 > 0:38:17The most surreal end to an extraordinary day.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22- WHISPERS:- The challenge is in absolutely pushing her to the edge

0:38:22 > 0:38:24because of her level of fitness

0:38:24 > 0:38:27and what we're asking from her is something above and beyond,

0:38:27 > 0:38:29for someone who's only cycled 50 miles,

0:38:29 > 0:38:33and then every day to do 70, is absolute hell to her.

0:38:36 > 0:38:40At the first early-morning stop, Zoe checks in with Chris Evans.

0:38:43 > 0:38:47Zoe Ball is here. Where is she at the moment? What's she up to?

0:38:47 > 0:38:51- Come in, Zoe, live from... - Talton Mill, Chris.

0:38:51 > 0:38:53I'm in Talton Mill,

0:38:53 > 0:38:58where a very nice man called Mark has just made me the best

0:38:58 > 0:39:02bacon, sausage and egg bap I think I've ever had in my life.

0:39:02 > 0:39:05- Perfect for a cyclist.- I know.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08Do you know what, I really needed it today, Chris.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10- It's getting really hard.- Aww.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13So, listen, here's what you've raised so far, Zoe, get ready

0:39:13 > 0:39:16- for this, total raised so far... - DRUM ROLL PLAYS

0:39:16 > 0:39:19£192,542, Zoe Ball!

0:39:19 > 0:39:20Oh, my goodness me, that's amazing.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23- How good is that?- That is amazing.

0:39:23 > 0:39:25- Oh, tears, tears.- Sorry. - Tears on the crossbar.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27Just having a little cry. It's a happy cry, though.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29I hope it's carbon fibre, otherwise it will rust.

0:39:29 > 0:39:33- All right, now...- OK.- Off with you! I'll talk with you tomorrow. Ta-ra!

0:39:33 > 0:39:36Doing some squats. That's amazing. Thank you so much.

0:39:36 > 0:39:38I can't believe that. That's absolutely incredible.

0:39:38 > 0:39:41Thank you, Chris. Thank you to everyone who's donated.

0:39:41 > 0:39:42That is just something else.

0:39:42 > 0:39:45And all that money's going to help so many people. It's brilliant.

0:39:47 > 0:39:48Thank you.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54I think that's the thing, it's getting really tough

0:39:54 > 0:39:59and then to hear that the money's gone up so much is amazing.

0:39:59 > 0:40:01And they are kind of happy tears.

0:40:01 > 0:40:06But I think you kind of dig in deep... Getting a bit weak and fatigued...

0:40:06 > 0:40:08And then you hear that, and you think, "Oh, my goodness!

0:40:08 > 0:40:11"It's so worth it and that's why we're doing it."

0:40:11 > 0:40:14And there's so much generosity from people, it's amazing.

0:40:14 > 0:40:16But I think it's encouraging,

0:40:16 > 0:40:20because it obviously is touching people, that they want to help

0:40:20 > 0:40:22other people and that's fantastic.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25I mean, the generosity of people blows my mind sometimes.

0:40:25 > 0:40:30You know, to be sort of directly involved with that is amazing.

0:40:30 > 0:40:34And just when you're thinking, "How am I going to get through today?

0:40:34 > 0:40:37"That's how I'm going to get through today!"

0:40:37 > 0:40:38It's... You know...

0:40:43 > 0:40:45- Good stuff, mate.- Yeah.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48Hi! Hello.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50Whoo! Oh, I nearly fell off.

0:40:50 > 0:40:53Hello, kids. Hi! How are you?

0:40:54 > 0:40:56Thank you.

0:40:56 > 0:40:58Thank you for coming out in the rain. Thank you.

0:40:58 > 0:41:00Thank you, teachers.

0:41:00 > 0:41:03This is definitely something that's very close to my heart.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06I've talked quite openly previously about my own

0:41:06 > 0:41:09experiences of depression and anxiety,

0:41:09 > 0:41:14and I think, anyone spreading the word, opening up that conversation,

0:41:14 > 0:41:15encouraging people to talk more,

0:41:15 > 0:41:17is a brilliant and very worthwhile thing.

0:41:18 > 0:41:21Thank you. Go, girls. That's you as well, Greg.

0:41:22 > 0:41:25Fearne is joining Zoe for support.

0:41:25 > 0:41:27Hi, guys. Thank you. Very wobbly!

0:41:28 > 0:41:30The next few miles will take them

0:41:30 > 0:41:33through one of the most historic cities on the route.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36Oh, we like flat Oxford.

0:41:36 > 0:41:40- Nice and flat. - This is lovely and a bit of traffic.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42A bit of traffic, nice, slow pace.

0:41:42 > 0:41:45How do you sit on this bike for so long?

0:41:45 > 0:41:47Already, my lady bits have gone a bit numb.

0:41:47 > 0:41:49- Yeah, I know.- God Almighty!

0:41:49 > 0:41:53Well, it's just so brilliant you're doing it, Zoe, honestly. It's just amazing.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55Already, though, it's helped so many people,

0:41:55 > 0:41:57- just from people knowing that you're doing this.- Yeah.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59And, you know, especially, men, you know,

0:41:59 > 0:42:02feeling like they can talk out more.

0:42:02 > 0:42:04It is such a shame and, you know, we've both got sons and you

0:42:04 > 0:42:08want to kind of bring them up to know that it's OK to talk about anything.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10- Anything at all, yeah. - Anything at all.

0:42:14 > 0:42:16So, tell me a bit about Jason.

0:42:16 > 0:42:20Finding the courage to speak out was life-changing for one of the men

0:42:20 > 0:42:23Zoe met in Nottingham two months ago.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26- So he's gone back to what he loves, back to the gym.- Yeah.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28Back to doing competitions and moving himself forward.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30- It's amazing.- Fantastic.

0:42:30 > 0:42:33Jason has been struggling with his mental health

0:42:33 > 0:42:34since he was a teenager.

0:42:34 > 0:42:36HE EXHALES

0:42:36 > 0:42:38Oh, my goodness me.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40- Hi, Jason.- How you doing?

0:42:40 > 0:42:43- Jason, lovely...- Nice to meet you. - Oh, no. Go on, give me a sweaty hug.

0:42:43 > 0:42:48My goodness me. So I've come to see you and you're going to make me look like that, yeah, this afternoon?

0:42:48 > 0:42:50- We'll give it a go, know what I mean?- Yeah? OK.

0:42:50 > 0:42:52- Stopping for a workout? - No, no, no. I'll leave you guys.

0:42:52 > 0:42:55During Jason's battle with depression,

0:42:55 > 0:42:57he sometimes felt that life wasn't worth living.

0:42:58 > 0:43:02I was doing a lot of, you know, just sinking into a pit,

0:43:02 > 0:43:04self-harm, everything else that goes with it.

0:43:05 > 0:43:08And I just had, probably the lowest point of my life, and...

0:43:10 > 0:43:13..I woke up in hospital knowing full well what I'd done,

0:43:13 > 0:43:18and it was just, like, really no, no way out of it.

0:43:18 > 0:43:22Still experiencing suicidal thoughts, 12 months ago,

0:43:22 > 0:43:25Jason contacted The Tomorrow Project.

0:43:25 > 0:43:27I went to see Colin and I was more scared about this bloke

0:43:27 > 0:43:31sat in front of me, saying - you know, what's he going to say?

0:43:31 > 0:43:34Was he going to... Is he going to think I'm mental, is he going to shove me

0:43:34 > 0:43:36in the back of a van and cart me off to somewhere,

0:43:36 > 0:43:38or is he going to sit there and laugh at me? And he didn't.

0:43:38 > 0:43:41That fear is so huge, isn't it?

0:43:41 > 0:43:44- And it does stop so many people reaching out.- Yeah.

0:43:44 > 0:43:45He didn't judge.

0:43:45 > 0:43:47He didn't say, "Right, this is what you need to do."

0:43:47 > 0:43:50He just listened.

0:43:50 > 0:43:51You know, and it starts working.

0:43:51 > 0:43:56I started talking and I started... coming out of my shell.

0:43:56 > 0:44:00That... As much as men need to talk, somebody else needs to listen.

0:44:00 > 0:44:02And that's what they're there for.

0:44:09 > 0:44:14It's so hard to comprehend what depression or a mental illness

0:44:14 > 0:44:19feels like if you haven't suffered, and it's that thing, you know,

0:44:19 > 0:44:21maybe sometimes I think I was

0:44:21 > 0:44:26so busy trying to find a solution or find a therapist,

0:44:26 > 0:44:29or look for help here, or let's do this, or let's do that,

0:44:29 > 0:44:32that perhaps, maybe the most powerful thing

0:44:32 > 0:44:34I could have done is to sit and listen.

0:44:34 > 0:44:37HE BREATHES HEAVILY

0:44:37 > 0:44:40You're looking very strong and you're looking really well.

0:44:40 > 0:44:44How do you keep... Have you keep your head strong?

0:44:44 > 0:44:48If I, for whatever reason, wake up one day

0:44:48 > 0:44:51and all of a sudden the weight of the world's on my shoulders

0:44:51 > 0:44:54again, I now have no problem picking up that phone.

0:44:55 > 0:44:58So, yeah, there are good days, there are bad days.

0:44:58 > 0:45:00There's, you know, points where you think to yourself,

0:45:00 > 0:45:03"I really just can't be doing with today,"

0:45:03 > 0:45:07then you think to yourself, "Well, tomorrow's a different day."

0:45:09 > 0:45:11Before she leaves,

0:45:11 > 0:45:14Zoe's keen to get some tips for her challenge from Jason.

0:45:16 > 0:45:18So what should I be eating for endurance?

0:45:18 > 0:45:20Um...

0:45:20 > 0:45:23- Bag of pizza down you the night before.- Pizza?- Yeah.

0:45:23 > 0:45:26That sounds all right. I'm OK with that!

0:45:26 > 0:45:29And mentally, how do you keep yourself going?

0:45:29 > 0:45:31Just think about why you're doing it.

0:45:31 > 0:45:34You're right. Jason, you're right.

0:45:34 > 0:45:36Thank you.

0:45:36 > 0:45:37I may be screaming and cursing

0:45:37 > 0:45:40and shouting your name somewhere along that ride!

0:45:42 > 0:45:47If, like Zoe, you've been inspired by Jason's story, you can donate to

0:45:47 > 0:45:51Sport Relief to help mental health charities across the country.

0:45:52 > 0:45:54Oh, God. Oh, God...

0:45:59 > 0:46:00OK, OK...

0:46:05 > 0:46:07- That's it. Just squeeze it out now. - Oh, good grief!

0:46:07 > 0:46:09- That's brilliant.- Ah!

0:46:09 > 0:46:12Remember, this pain is short-lived.

0:46:12 > 0:46:14There is no doubt about it. She's at her breaking point

0:46:14 > 0:46:17in the sense that this is really, really difficult,

0:46:17 > 0:46:21and we've still got a day and a half to go over some of the biggest

0:46:21 > 0:46:23hills in the entire challenge.

0:46:23 > 0:46:25- OK, here we go.- Right.

0:46:25 > 0:46:29- Squeeze down another gear when they keep spinning, all right?- Yeah.

0:46:29 > 0:46:31OK.

0:46:31 > 0:46:33All right.

0:46:33 > 0:46:34That's it, good.

0:46:34 > 0:46:36That's tough.

0:46:36 > 0:46:38- You've got one more left.- Yeah.

0:46:38 > 0:46:41- But only take it if you need it, OK? - Sugar, oh, sugar!

0:46:41 > 0:46:43Ooh!

0:46:43 > 0:46:45- Shit.- Zoe's exhausted.

0:46:47 > 0:46:48But only a few miles away,

0:46:48 > 0:46:51in Marlow, her friends and family are gathering.

0:46:52 > 0:46:54I think she found it very daunting at the beginning.

0:46:54 > 0:46:57I think she finds it more daunting now!

0:46:57 > 0:46:58But she's done four days

0:46:58 > 0:47:00and there's only one to go,

0:47:00 > 0:47:01so I'm sure she's going to make it.

0:47:01 > 0:47:02Here we go.

0:47:02 > 0:47:05Spin it up, girl. Spin it up!

0:47:06 > 0:47:08Oh, my Lord.

0:47:10 > 0:47:11Ah!

0:47:12 > 0:47:13Goodness me.

0:47:16 > 0:47:17Right...

0:47:17 > 0:47:19Just think about Jason.

0:47:22 > 0:47:24Telling me to think about why I'm doing this.

0:47:29 > 0:47:30Ah, that's wonderful.

0:47:30 > 0:47:33- Put it really high up. - You've got it really high up.

0:47:33 > 0:47:35- These are my grandchildren. - Hello, Grandad.

0:47:35 > 0:47:36Hello!

0:47:36 > 0:47:38So I've got to say hello to them.

0:47:38 > 0:47:41They've made these signs, look. Aren't they wonderful?

0:47:41 > 0:47:43"Go, Zo! Go, we love you!"

0:47:43 > 0:47:46- Yay!- "Zoe, you're a machine! Keep going!" Look at that.

0:47:46 > 0:47:49- Oh, fantastic.- Here we go.

0:47:49 > 0:47:51Here you are, mate. Well done. Well done, mate.

0:47:51 > 0:47:53- Well done.- Thank you.

0:47:53 > 0:47:54Hello.

0:47:54 > 0:47:56Yay!

0:47:56 > 0:47:57CHEERING

0:47:57 > 0:47:58There's my dad!

0:48:00 > 0:48:04Juno! Juno, Roddy! Hi!

0:48:05 > 0:48:07Hi! It's wonderful.

0:48:07 > 0:48:11Oh. Zoe, why didn't they give you a tandem?

0:48:11 > 0:48:13- I'd have come with you.- I know!

0:48:13 > 0:48:15I know.

0:48:15 > 0:48:16How are you?

0:48:16 > 0:48:17Thanks, Dad. How are you?

0:48:17 > 0:48:19How are your legs?

0:48:19 > 0:48:21The left shoulder, it's all a bit creaky.

0:48:21 > 0:48:23I want to give her the biggest hug ever.

0:48:23 > 0:48:25Squeeze the breath out of her.

0:48:25 > 0:48:26That's all I want to do.

0:48:26 > 0:48:28And then she'll be no good for tomorrow!

0:48:28 > 0:48:32This is Michael Litchard, who I bit at school.

0:48:34 > 0:48:36It's all right, you're forgiven for that! Well done.

0:48:36 > 0:48:38Today, that last hill was enormous

0:48:38 > 0:48:41and you saw, particularly with the fall, that could break

0:48:41 > 0:48:44someone's confidence, but it didn't. She got back on.

0:48:44 > 0:48:46She absolutely nailed it.

0:48:46 > 0:48:48That was impressive cycling, really impressive,

0:48:48 > 0:48:50particularly at the end of a tough day.

0:48:50 > 0:48:52Are you all right with your knees bent, Zo?

0:48:52 > 0:48:54No, not for long.

0:48:58 > 0:49:00It's almost the end of Zoe's journey

0:49:00 > 0:49:03and her thoughts turn to the last time she saw Billy.

0:49:09 > 0:49:11He called me, and as I turned round,

0:49:11 > 0:49:13his little face was there and that moment,

0:49:13 > 0:49:16my heart sort of exploded with all this love and I just thought

0:49:16 > 0:49:22to myself, "Whatever it is that we have to do, I love him so much.

0:49:22 > 0:49:26"We will get through this, somehow." And it was just that moment,

0:49:26 > 0:49:30that feeling of, "Oh, my God, I love him so much, we'll find some help,

0:49:30 > 0:49:32"it will all be OK."

0:49:32 > 0:49:34And I wish I'd told him that.

0:49:34 > 0:49:39He hopped on his bike and he cycled off

0:49:39 > 0:49:45and he turned round and sort of, you know, blew me a kiss goodbye.

0:49:45 > 0:49:48And that was the last time I saw him

0:49:48 > 0:49:51and I feel really grateful

0:49:51 > 0:49:55that I got my goodbye, in a way.

0:49:56 > 0:49:59And I think that was my one, you know.

0:50:03 > 0:50:07If one family was saved from going through that terrible loss,

0:50:07 > 0:50:09it would be worth it, you know.

0:50:09 > 0:50:10It would...

0:50:11 > 0:50:14It would be worth, you know, all of it.

0:50:14 > 0:50:16And I really hope that that's the case.

0:50:23 > 0:50:27- Last day, Dot.- Last day, mate. - Last day, Dot. I'm going to make it.

0:50:27 > 0:50:31- It's going to be a bit of a circus later, so enjoy it.- OK.

0:50:31 > 0:50:33Thank you, Dot, brilliant. Thank you.

0:50:35 > 0:50:40I think Zoe is a true champion, because she's gone through it.

0:50:40 > 0:50:42She has come out of the other side of it.

0:50:42 > 0:50:46She's doing something really, really positive now, trying to help others.

0:50:46 > 0:50:49I think that's what makes her so very, very special.

0:50:49 > 0:50:52And I just hope that it does help many other people

0:50:52 > 0:50:54in the way it's helped her.

0:50:54 > 0:50:58We've actually got a huge distance to cover today.

0:50:58 > 0:51:01- Legs are tired. We can get through this though, can't we?- We can.

0:51:01 > 0:51:05If anyone can get me through it, it's this man.

0:51:06 > 0:51:08Thank you.

0:51:08 > 0:51:09- Oh!- Look at this.

0:51:09 > 0:51:10Beautiful views.

0:51:12 > 0:51:16There are 76 tough miles left before Zoe reaches home.

0:51:18 > 0:51:20Whoo! Thank you! Thank you so much.

0:51:27 > 0:51:30Halfway to Brighton, Zoe takes a moment to

0:51:30 > 0:51:33think about those her challenge has touched along the way.

0:51:34 > 0:51:38This note was left on one of our crew vehicles this morning.

0:51:38 > 0:51:42It says, "Dear Zoe, fantastic effort, well done.

0:51:42 > 0:51:43"It's a cause close to my heart.

0:51:43 > 0:51:48"It's been seven years since I lost my best friend.

0:51:48 > 0:51:52"See you on the telly at the end, go for it. Lots of love."

0:51:52 > 0:51:54And...

0:51:54 > 0:51:58You know, it's been so moving, as we go along the road,

0:51:58 > 0:52:03that so many people have come up and taken a quiet moment with me

0:52:03 > 0:52:06and shared their own stories.

0:52:08 > 0:52:10That's what we wanted this challenge to do,

0:52:10 > 0:52:12is make people feel that they could share.

0:52:12 > 0:52:15I think that's the thing - the more people feel that they can talk to me

0:52:15 > 0:52:19about it, the more they feel they can talk to other people about it.

0:52:19 > 0:52:21That's what we need to do, we just all need to be able to talk

0:52:21 > 0:52:23to each other about these things, don't we?

0:52:23 > 0:52:25Ugh.

0:52:25 > 0:52:27Soggy, soggy.

0:52:27 > 0:52:30Look, Brighton. This is our first sign.

0:52:31 > 0:52:34Zoe is tantalisingly close to home.

0:52:34 > 0:52:36Hey, Brighton, we're coming for you.

0:52:36 > 0:52:40But there's one more hurdle she needs to overcome.

0:52:40 > 0:52:41Oh, dear.

0:52:41 > 0:52:45Devil's Dyke, at the top of the South Downs.

0:52:45 > 0:52:46It's getting tough now.

0:52:46 > 0:52:50It's the longest climb she's faced on her challenge so far.

0:52:50 > 0:52:51God.

0:52:51 > 0:52:53SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

0:52:56 > 0:52:57Thank you.

0:53:02 > 0:53:04Jesus Christ.

0:53:04 > 0:53:05Oh, God, Greg.

0:53:05 > 0:53:08But after over a mile of climbing,

0:53:08 > 0:53:10there's still another mile to go.

0:53:10 > 0:53:12You OK?

0:53:12 > 0:53:14Just a little dig around this corner.

0:53:14 > 0:53:17- And then we've got a little... - SHE WHIMPERS

0:53:17 > 0:53:20..look, little bit of plateau, lovely. Right?

0:53:20 > 0:53:21Push it round, push it round.

0:53:21 > 0:53:24You're good, mate, you're good. You're all right.

0:53:24 > 0:53:25You OK?

0:53:25 > 0:53:27You're on this, mate. You are on this, all over it.

0:53:27 > 0:53:30- I can't...- All over this, yeah?

0:53:30 > 0:53:32The five days of constant cycling

0:53:32 > 0:53:36has pushed Zoe to the limits of her endurance.

0:53:36 > 0:53:39I just feel like I've got no power.

0:53:39 > 0:53:40You have got loads of power, mate.

0:53:40 > 0:53:43Squeeze it out, there's always something left in there.

0:53:43 > 0:53:45There's more in there.

0:53:45 > 0:53:47You're on it, you're on it, Zoe.

0:53:47 > 0:53:49Good, good, good. Very, very strong.

0:53:53 > 0:53:56Oh, Greg, how am I going to get up this bit?

0:53:56 > 0:53:58You are, you are.

0:53:58 > 0:54:01Because you've got up everything else. OK?

0:54:05 > 0:54:09God, that pain is hideous.

0:54:09 > 0:54:10Ugh.

0:54:11 > 0:54:15Finally, Zoe has made it over Devil's Dyke.

0:54:15 > 0:54:17The golf club.

0:54:17 > 0:54:19It's the golf club!

0:54:19 > 0:54:23Oh, it's an amazing sight, thank you so much!

0:54:23 > 0:54:25Thank you!

0:54:25 > 0:54:26Well done, mate. Well done.

0:54:26 > 0:54:28Oh, Greg, thank you so much for getting me up there.

0:54:28 > 0:54:30I am so proud of you.

0:54:30 > 0:54:34I think just coming to the end of the journey, when we met everyone...

0:54:36 > 0:54:39..involved, and all the reasons,

0:54:39 > 0:54:41I didn't think I was going to be able to do that.

0:54:41 > 0:54:44- And now look, Brighton's ahead of us.- Beautiful weather!- Somewhere!

0:54:44 > 0:54:48- Somewhere over there.- Not sure if we can see it, but, yeah.

0:54:48 > 0:54:52In just five miles, Zoe's journey will be over.

0:54:58 > 0:55:01Billy will always be in my heart, always.

0:55:01 > 0:55:07I want him to be remembered for more than how he died.

0:55:07 > 0:55:13I want him to be remembered for how he was when he was living his life.

0:55:13 > 0:55:17And how he brought so much love into people's lives and laughter.

0:55:19 > 0:55:22And I think he's there, he's with me.

0:55:23 > 0:55:26- It's only a mile down here, so... - Only a mile.- Yeah.

0:55:26 > 0:55:31- It's that last, long mile. - That last one!- The last mile, Greg.

0:55:31 > 0:55:33- This one, we can actually see the finish line.- Yeah.

0:55:33 > 0:55:37And waiting to welcome her home is her mum, Julia.

0:55:37 > 0:55:40I would never have expected her to take on a challenge like this.

0:55:40 > 0:55:42Yay!

0:55:42 > 0:55:44I am so thrilled and so proud of her.

0:55:44 > 0:55:47I just think she's been incredible.

0:55:47 > 0:55:49- There it is.- We're nearly there!

0:55:49 > 0:55:51We are nearly home.

0:55:51 > 0:55:53I love her so much,

0:55:53 > 0:55:56and she's gone a very, very, very, very, very long way,

0:55:56 > 0:55:59and I'm really excited to see her.

0:55:59 > 0:56:01Thank you, thank you so much!

0:56:01 > 0:56:04It's just so incredible, she's achieved so much

0:56:04 > 0:56:06and it's awe-inspiring.

0:56:06 > 0:56:10I hope one day I can do something that's as massive as this.

0:56:10 > 0:56:13And two people who've been thinking about Zoe throughout her

0:56:13 > 0:56:17challenge, Penny and Caroline from The Tomorrow Project.

0:56:17 > 0:56:19I wouldn't be anywhere else right now.

0:56:19 > 0:56:22Although we're rather wet, I imagine Zoe's much wetter.

0:56:22 > 0:56:24I think the woman is phenomenal.

0:56:24 > 0:56:27She's shown great courage and strength.

0:56:27 > 0:56:30It's started people talking about mental health and she's amazing.

0:56:30 > 0:56:32Woohoo!

0:56:32 > 0:56:34She's my hero, can't wait to see her.

0:56:34 > 0:56:36Just the fact that she's doing this

0:56:36 > 0:56:38and I know exactly what she's feeling.

0:56:38 > 0:56:40And to put her heart on her sleeve and go out there.

0:56:40 > 0:56:43And it's just really, really touched me that she's doing this for us.

0:56:45 > 0:56:46Yeehaw!

0:56:46 > 0:56:49After cycling over 350 miles,

0:56:49 > 0:56:52Zoe has finally reached her hometown, Brighton.

0:56:54 > 0:56:56CHEERING

0:57:01 > 0:57:03Hello, my darling!

0:57:03 > 0:57:05Oh, I love you!

0:57:05 > 0:57:07I love you so much!

0:57:13 > 0:57:15- You did it!- We did it! We did it!

0:57:15 > 0:57:17We did it!

0:57:17 > 0:57:20There she is - Zoe Ball, everybody!

0:57:23 > 0:57:24I'm so happy to be here.

0:57:24 > 0:57:27I can't really believe it, it's all quite surreal.

0:57:27 > 0:57:30I'd just like to mention, there's an amazing lady called Penny,

0:57:30 > 0:57:33who's here, who's come tonight, who lost her son, Jamie.

0:57:33 > 0:57:34And I'm thinking about her and Jamie,

0:57:34 > 0:57:36and she did something really amazing.

0:57:36 > 0:57:39She met with Caroline here, who's also an incredible woman.

0:57:39 > 0:57:42They run a fantastic project called The Tomorrow Project,

0:57:42 > 0:57:45so please, can you give them a huge round of applause?

0:57:45 > 0:57:49They're so brave, really incredible and very inspiring.

0:57:49 > 0:57:51CHEERING

0:57:51 > 0:57:54She's cycled 352 miles from Blackpool to Brighton.
