From rock bottom to the top of the world, an adventure story, with a difference.
Join us for An Evening with Jessica Hepburn as we celebrate the ten-year anniversary of Midhurst Library at The Grange on Thursday 21 March at 6.30pm.
Jessica Hepburn is an unlikely athlete. Labelled the 'arty' one and not the 'sporty' one at school, she hated exercise. However, in her forties, following a series of hard life experiences, she started to try and exercise her way out of heartbreak. Jessica has now become the first and (currently) only woman ever to have completed the 'Sea, Street, Summit Challenge', which is to swim the English Channel, run a road marathon (London) and summit Mount Everest. Jessica is also possibly the only woman to have listened to eighty years and over 3,000 episodes of her favourite radio programme, Desert Island Discs.
Save me from the Waves is Jessica's inspirational and moving story of physical and mental endurance. It will encourage every reader to believe an adventure will always change your life for the better…
A book sale from The Petworth Bookshop and book signing, will follow the talk.
Tickets £5.00, available from Midhurst Library: 01730 716671.
