getting along with my wife at the time. So I had left and had
given her all the money. We had a backer for John Paul Mitchell
Systems putting in a half-million dollars. That money was
supposed to arrive that day. I never got a penny. So I just siept
in my car. And i sIept in my car for the first two weeks when I
started the company. So we started with humble beginnings.

complete the 78-mile Ultra Marathn in Namibia, running
the three consecutive maralhons in 2 3 hours and 5 0
minutes. But when Blue Peer decided to do something to
raise money for the charity Sports Relief (which s p o n s o r s
projects around the world), Skelton s a i d that s h e wanted
an even bigger challenge. S o they suggested that s h e
kayak 1,998 miles down the A m a z o n from Nauta in Per to
Almeirim in Brazil.
T h i s is a very risky trip. T h e r e are no roads a n d no towns,
only rainforesl and the river (which is sometimes more than
24 miles wide and infestad with crocodiles). If s h e gets
sick, it will take around 11 hours to fiy her to a hospital.
