John Davidson aka The Mad Giraffe spent 15 years in the special forces, but nothing could have prepared him for his epic adventure on the Atlantic Ocean for the My Name's Doddie Foundation

The former SAS soldier has been shot down in a helicopter, shot down in a plane and shot.

He’s also been a kidnap for ransom hostage negotiator, however a solo 3000-mile row in a 28-foot boat has been “his biggest challenge yet”.

John took on the Atlantic back in 2019 and it was a pleasure to catch up with him during World in a Day as we raised funds for Doddie Aid.

Along with John, Dougie Vipond said hello on this Pod and Adventure Athlete Mark Beaumont joins in to discuss his attempt at rowing the Atlantic and how it ended in disaster.

This Podcast was recorded Live on Zoom so please excuse any short drop outs in sound quality. There were around 100 cyclists on the call at the same time and thousands of viewers watching across social media all raising funds for Doddie Aid.

During World in a Day Nashy hosted the online event and spoke with over 20 inspiring guests during the 14 hour challenge.
