Ben Bowers has put together an incredible team to complete The Big Stand Up, a charity paddle for Movember, raising money for the men's health charity.

The team consists of Charley Boorman (Adventurer/Presenter), James Phelps (Fred Weasley, Harry Potter), Damon Hill (F1 World Champion), James Haskell (England Rugby), Chloe Madeley (Presenter/Fitness Coach), Matthew Wright (Journalist, Presenter), D*Face (Street Artist), Amy Voce (Radio presenter), Nick and Giles English (Bremont Watches Founders), expedition organiser Ben Bowers and friend of the podcast and guest on Episode 32 Paul Hyman.

As Ben explains in this interview, he's had two spells of testicular cancer and some low periods of mental health and through his mates and getting out there in nature he's gained some real benefits from paddleboarding.
