I Started To Get So Many Letters From Unlikely People; A Single Mum Going, "i Watch Your Show, I'm Not Into Survival, But I Hold Down Four Jobs And I Get It When You Say It's About Persistence And Putting A Positive Attitude Into Things During Difficult Times." That For Me Was A Great Liberator To Realize That The Show Isn't About Me Running Around, Jumping Off Stuff And Flexing Muscles, It's About Inspiring People. That Makes Me Really Happy.

And For Me To Learn That Ordinary Me Can Achieve Something Extra-ordinary By Giving That Little Bit Extra, When Everyone Else Gives Up, Meant The World To Me And I Really Clung To It.
