Billy Monger talks about his Comic Relief challenge and it's Maximum Music Monday.

Racing driver Billy Monger tells Zoe all about his 140 mile Comic Relief challenge. Plus we meet another one of the Tiny Happy People Families.

Billy Monger, the British racing driver and double amputee tells Zoe all about his Comic Relief Challenge. Billy will walk, cycle and kayak 140 miles in four days to raise money for the charity. Billy was critically injured in an accident in 2017 aged 16, but was back behind the wheel within a year. Before training began in December, he had not ridden a bike since his accident and had not walked more than 6km (3.7 miles) at a time. Monger returned to racing in 2018 after appealing to motorsport's international governing body, the FIA, to change its regulations restricting disabled drivers. He won the Euroformula series Pau Grand Prix in 2019.

Earlier this month Zoe launched Tiny Happy People Families on The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show and we've now met four of the families! With an introduction from JB Gill, today we are revealing and meeting the final family taking part in the project! In collaboration with BBC Radio 2 and The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show, Tiny Happy People Families launched on Monday 19th October 2020. The project’s aim is to find five families due to have a baby in January 2021 and to follow their journey from birth through to 5 years old. This all forms part of a wider BBC campaign called Tiny Happy People, which is a five year initiative to support parents and carers in developing the language and communication skills of their 0-4 year old children. 

Zoe plays three disco classics from her personal collection in the Disco Ball at 8.30! Along with Adam Porter on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, she and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners, and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a daily Pause For Thought and listeners on the line, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!
