Annie Doyle is an incredible Mum with her head in the clouds. Leaving her husband and children at home, she is attempting to become only the second mother to climb the highest peaks on Earth's seven continents.

Mike Munro follows Annie as she prepares to take on her most dangerous mission - surviving the death zone on Mount Everest. But first he must take her back to New Zealand to meet the SAS soldier who owes his life to this remarkable woman.

When she's not climbing mountains she works at Sunnyfield a not-for-profit organisation that supports people with intellectual disability to find independence and opportunities.
