In LA, I live on sushi or salad.

I've never been on a fad diet.

My daughter is my biggest achievement. She is a little star and my life has changed so much for the better since she came along.

I did the Kilimanjaro climb a few years ago, then the six-day trek to Machu Picchu in Peru so this bike ride to raise money for Great Ormond Street seemed like the next big challenge.
