In 2014, I joined Sam on his 1,000-kilometer journey from London to the summit of the Matterhorn. The Virgin Strive Challenge was a new adventure Sam and my nephew Noah dreamed up on their way down Mont Blanc after we climbed the mountain in 2012: to run, row, cycle, hike and climb entirely under their own steam all the way from the UK to the top of one of the world’s most formidable peaks, the Matterhorn.
