Fearless

Louise Minchin went from presenting BBC Breakfast to competing for the GB Team in triathlon in World and European championships, a journey she charted in her first book ‘Dare to Tri’. In ‘Fearless’ she sets out to push herself even further, alongside trailblazing women who are breaking down barriers, smashing records and challenging stereotypes. In every chapter Louise goes on an adventure with a different woman to tell their story and to test herself. She free dives under the ice in the dark in Finland with the first female to swim a mile in the Antarctic Circle; she cycles across Argentina with one of the world’s most famous female endurance runners; she swims from Alcatraz with two teenage sisters who have braved the shark infested waters over 70 times. With her natural empathy and sense of humour, Louise forms close bonds with these incredible women exploring what drives them.
