I鈥檓 held together by 17 titanium plates

A broken collar bone and 34 broken ribs: just some of the injuries Pip Peacock sustained on a sunny afternoon walk with her dog Buster. She tells Jane Garvey what happened.

Pip Peacock lives in Bakewell in the Peak District, a perfect spot for walking the family dog, Buster. He鈥檇 been with them for 11 years. He was originally a present for her youngest son when he was a teenager but when he found out just how much was involved in dog ownership the title of chief dog walker soon fell to Pip.

Thankfully she likes walking. This year she set herself a challenge of completing 1000 miles on foot. She finished the last mile this October, raising money for the air ambulance who had come to her rescue when she was seriously injured on another country walk with Buster back in 2019. She tells Jane Garvey how that moment left her fighting for her life.
