From Antarctica to South Africa, Australia to Asia, Europe to South America, and to North America, they covered over 295 kilometres (183 miles) on foot and flew over 37,000 kilometres (23,000 miles) in the air! James completed most of the challenge on crutches, showing incredible grit and determination.
