Jessica Hepburn: Why I swim

Jessica became the first woman in the world to achieve ‘The Sea, Street, Summit Challenge’ – swim the English Channel, run a road marathon (London) and summit Mount Everest

Jessica, what is ‘The Sea, Street, Summit Challenge’?

It’s a three part challenge – swimming the English Channel, running a road marathon (in my case London) and summiting Mount Everest. It’s a spin on the more well known ‘Peak and Pond Challenge’ – swimming the English Channel and climbing Mount Everest – which has been completed by 14 people (two women, including me).
