Sophie Radcliffe is not a professional athlete but four years ago decided to quit her job in the city and try something new. Today she is driven to consistently push the boundaries as she regularly takes on challenges to run, climb, swim and cycle, all over the world. She is the only person in history to have climbed the highest mountains in the eight Alpine countries and cycle between them in just 32 days. 'I can't believe I'm going to be the first person ever to attempt the KONA 10. To make it up 10 iconic volcanic passes in 72 hours will be a real challenge, but I love pushing myself physically and mentally, - so for me it's all part of the adventure. Although I've completed extreme challenges all over the world, this is my first involving a car and volcanoes!' Sophie will be raising money for Stand Up To Cancer. Everyone can donate at https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/hyundaikona10 The all-new KONA is a compact SUV with a bold, sharp design with full-LED twin headlamps, two-tone roof and the choice of ten distinctive exterior colours. A true SUV with four-wheel drive the KONA also has head-up display, a high-end sound system by Krell and complete connectivity allowing passengers to use Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on the seven-inch screen. Tony Whitehorn, Hyundai Motor UK's President and CEO comments: 'This world first challenge is a perfect example of Hyundai's ethos and the way we constantly look to push boundaries. It's going to be a tough journey but the team is well prepared and confident they can conquer it in the time set. The new KONA, which is available with four-wheel drive, is well suited to those with an adventurous spirit. It offers all-round capability and is just as at home on urban roads as it is on mountain passes.' Hyundai has captured the KONA 10 route for consumers using public roads and it can be found at www.kona10.co.uk from 27th November 2017.
