The couple, who completed the bike ride in September, are used to tackling challenges together. In 2018 they completed the Spartan challenge, a world leading obstacle course, and raised £500 for the hospice. Lisa had always wanted to try something that tested her fitness level to the limit so Jeff arranged this as a surprise present for her 48th birthday. And to complete it Lisa had to overcome her fear of heights.

In 2019 Lisa competed in the National Physique Association body building competition in the bikini toned section, clinching fourth place on her debut.
