Macmillan's Big Sports Day is a fabulous way for young people to get fit and have lots of fun while making money for Macmillan Cancer Support. Having trekked through jungles, rowed the Atlantic and crossed Antarctica on foot, I know what it’s like to rise to the challenge. So I really want to encourage all schools to set themselves their own challenge and sign up. Ben Fogle, TV Presenter
