Lara with her brother Bear Grylls - and taking part in her #FrostyFeb ice-swim challenge LARA Fawcett proved as daring as her brother TV endurance adventurer Bear Grylls when she took part in an open air ice-swimming challenge throughout February for charity. Lara, who works in PR, launched her Frosty Feb challenge to raise money for the Archbishop of York Youth Trust, for which she is a trustee. Lara, 54, from Wetherby, said she and Bear "bonded" over cold swimming and said he supported her throughout the challenge which raised £23,000 in just 28 days by her swimming in freezing water for five minutes, three times per week.
