I guess we are all aware of the Team Honk relay race in the blogger community, but were you aware that Davina McCall is attempting to run, swim and cycle over 500 miles from Edinburgh to London, entirely under her own steam? Do you know that she cycled 90 miles today?
I have to say I wasn’t until I saw her pulled out of the water at windermere after attempting to swim in the frigid waters. Davina’s challenge is all about girl power. She is going to to go through hell and back in order to raise money for Sport Relief. You can keep up to date with her challenge on the Beyond Breaking Point Website and there is also up to date photos, videos and facts on the website.
Tomorrow (13th February) is “Dial for Davina” day, where BT willdonate 1p to Sport Relief for every call made from a BT home phone line, BT business line as well as every call made from a BT payphone.
Davina is also the voice of BT’s Speaking Clock until the 23rd March, and if you call the speaking clock from a BT landline BT will donate 10p to Sport Relief.
What else can you do to support Davina?
Send Davina a supportive tweet using the hashtag #Davina. She is 47 years old and this is an amazing challenge and not one I would even contemplate doing. Any tweets will appear on her wall of support.

All the ups and downs of Davina’s challenge will be captured for a BBC documentary, to be broadcast in the run up to Sport Relief Weekend, which is taking place from Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd March.
She is doing so incredibly well but I am really worried about her, the footage from Windermere was quite scary. I hope she had a good day cycling in this weather. Her efforts really are beyond breaking point and she deserves to raise loads of cash for Sport Relief.
What a lovely post Jen. I’ve been following Davina and she is one awesome individual 🙂
I think Davina could do with Team Honk’s PR team helping her out. I hadn’t heard about this at ALL.
Wow. I had no idea that she was doing all this. What an achievement. Girl power!
Davina is brilliant!! The effort she puts into charity fund raising is above and beyond and her work load must be epic. She is very inspiring!.
Wow, what a determined lady. I didn’t know she was doing all this. What an inspiration!
The challenges celebrities set themselves seem to get crazier every year.
She is amazing! Great post x
I love the Sport Relief challenges! Every year someone you can relate to accomplishes something incredible. It’s so inspirational and the fact that this year it’s a woman is fantastic. I wish Davina every success.
I had no idea Davina was doing this good on her (and of course all of Team Honk) x
I cannot believe what she is doing – she must be mad!
Saw about this on BBC Breakfast – I’m sure she’ll make it all the way through and wish her luck
The pictures of her in the lake were dreadful 🙁 I hope she manages to finish, without putting her health at risk x
Wow! I didn’t know about this. I hope she does it but also that she keeps herself safe x.
I heard a bit about that! well done her but I’m sure people would understand if she’s putting her health at risk! x
She is amazing! x
And here you go again… you learn something new every day…
Off to check Twitter feed and sent some support…
Davina is awesome and what she’s doing is amazing. Go Davina!
She is amazing! I really hope lots of people saw how incredible she was and donated
