About this listen

 'Adele's inner strength is truly remarkable. Personal Best will light a fire of hope and determination in us all.' -Lorraine Kelly

Award-winning BBC broadcaster, TV personality and DJ, Adele Roberts, was diagnosed with bowel cancer on the first of October 2021. In the months that followed, with her partner Kate Holderness alongside her, she fought very publicly through the challenges of chemotherapy and life with a stoma, whom she named Audrey. Adele's legions of fans avidly followed this remarkable journey, struck by her determination, her stoicism, and above all the resolute positivity that she and Kate demonstrated despite the many hurdles they faced along the way. 18 months on - she ran across the finish line of the London Marathon, setting a new Guinness World Record as the fastest female with an ileostomy.

Personal Best is the story of those months but it's also a tremendously valuable, life-enhancing guide to surviving and thriving through life's challenges and setbacks, illuminating a path that anyone can follow to get back on track, go further than they thought and achieve their personal best in the marathon of life - punctured with inspirational quotes and playlists along the way. Personal Best will help you to take on whatever challenge you may be facing with enough resolution to give yourself the strongest possible chance of success.©2024 Adele Roberts (P)2024 Hodder & Stoughton Limited Black Creators Disability Awareness Personal Development Personal Success Sports Women Inspiring Heartfelt

This book is a gift to anyone going through a challenge in life. A beautifully written insight into a personal battle that many people face. Adele made me laugh out loud and cry. A story of passion and positivity even in the darkest of moments. A must read (or listen) one of the best life stories I have listened to.

Blown away by this moving story
