On 27th December 2024, surfers Chris Howard and Craig Sharp left Bournemouth Pier on a 52 mile prone paddling endurance challenge, aiming to raise awareness and funds for Diabetes UK whilst paying tribute to those who tirelessly manage their diabetes every day. The event tested every element of their capabilities, relying on their physical and mental stamina to combat the cold and ever-changing conditions. To add to the complexity half of the journey was conducted in the hours of darkness.

This is the audio from an Instagram LIVE interview that was conducted with Chris and Craig on 23rd Dec 24, a few days prior to the event. During the conversation, they share their motivation for the challenge, the planning involved and their hopes for the day. It will be followed in a couple of weeks by a post-event interview where they will share what actually happened!

Kerenza Bryson is a professional athlete who represents Great Britain in the modern pentathlon - a sport including epee fencing, swimming, showjumping and a combined laser run (pistol shooting and cross country run). Having won gold, silver and bronze medals in the the World and European Championships, she recently competed at the Paris Olympics where she placed 9th in the final and in the semi final set a new Olympic record. Kerenza is also a qualified medical doctor and an Officer in the British Army Reserves.

She also shares some of the magic of competing at the Olympics as well as how it has spurred her on in her ambitions.
