We have so many updates from today but want to start with a shout out to this legend @BRUMMIE_PJ 🙌 Thank you for joining us on our Move It Challenge! As a team we walked the distance from Lands End to John O’Groats to shine a spotlight on mental health! 🩷💛🩷💛

We were saddened to hear about the passing of Greg Stokes earlier this year 💔
Greg was a much loved member of the Xtra family and will be sorely missed.
Tonight we’ll pay tribute from 6pm, with another chance to hear his chat with Sir Lenny Henry.
