I am ridiculously prone to large doses of adventure whether that be running through the Bolivian jungle rehabilitating Pumas & Oscelots, jumping the world's highest bungee, or planning to row an ocean.

A brand new adventure kicks off in August when I will be joining adventurer Dave Cornthwaite and a team of awesome guys and gals as he swims 1000 miles (yes, that figure is correct) down the Missouri River. I will be stand up paddleboarding the 1000 miles, and lending a hand in all things social media, PR, marketing and even a little photography and filming.

Follow all the action on Twitter! @nesshere @swim1000

We'll also be doing some super cool fundraising gigs for the wonderful CoppaFeel!

Check out Dave's 2011 Mississipi SUP adventure to get a wee little insight into the kind of adventures & craziness I'll be getting up to on the Missouri!

I am a firm believer that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things. What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?
