Sahara Challenge 2012: introducing Zoe Nicholson


zoeWhat can we say about the lovely Zoe that hasn’t been said before?  When we first kicked the idea of a trek across the desert to raise money so a community would benefit from clean water for the first time, Zoe was there faster than a greased whippet on a skateboard.

By day, part of The Body Shop International Legal Team:  by night charity trekker extraordinaire.  Ladies and gents, find out more about the delightful Zoe in the 10 questions we ask absolutely everyone….

Apart from your home and car, what’s the most expensive thing you’ve ever bought?
My Dyson!!

What’s been the most embarrasing moment of your life?
There have been many – possibly the worst was when I went husky sledding and got a bit competitive, making them go far too fast then didn’t realise they would all turn sharply left at the bottom of a hill which tipped the whole thing over and I went flying! They then ran off so everyone had to chase after them.. Highly embarrassing and something I shan’t be doing again in a hurry ;-)

If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?
Cruelty

If you were invisible for a day, what would be the first thing you’d do?
Stalk Robbie Williams!!

If you had a pound to give to charity, which collection tin would you pop it in?
The Born Free Foundation

When was the last time you cried?
When my dog was poorly a couple of weeks ago and I felt sorry for him!

Who did you last receive a text from and what did it say?
From my friend Gill telling me that she had taken the afternoon off work to go sunbathing – not jealous..

If you had to change your first name, what would you change it to?
Erm…. I quite like my name! But if I had to….. Mia?

What is your favourite thing about The Body Shop Foundation?
The amazing things it does for charity and the lovely team who work for it!!

What one skill or talent do you have that no-one knows about?
I do a cracking dolphin impression….

If you agree with us that Zoe is a bit of a legend and you’d like to help her in her quest, please give whatever you can at http://www.justgiving.com/TheBodyShopLegalTeam, her Just Giving site which she is sharing with team mate (and volunteer superstar) Chris Aldridge.  Please, please give whatever you can; it all counts and it all adds up.  Thank you.

Ed: PS – How cute is her dog?
