    Helen is now past the halfway mark on her 500-mile Sport Relief Challenge to the South Pole.

Now the pair will have to travel at least 14 hours a day if they have any chance of completing the challenge in time. However, the constant physical demands of the longer days and the cold of Antarctica starts to affect Helen's health as she picks up a nasty cough. Has ditching the kites put her whole trip in jeopardy?
