Mental Health Advocate
On 9 May 2026, I became the fastest woman to run around the coastline of Britain.
I completed the 5000 mile loop in 204 days and took 94 days off the previous women’s world record. I raised £74,000 for the Samaritans.
Run Britain changed my life. It showed me how much we have to be positive about. It reminded me how much fun life can be when you don’t take it too seriously. It taught me more about myself and about humanity than I ever could have imagined.
It has become the foundation with which I want to help others overcome their own darkness and difficulties.

Power of positivity
I spent most of my teens and 20s hidden behind a mask. A façade which hid a debilitating battle with anxiety, depression and cripplingly low self esteem.
Mental illness-health is increasingly pervasive and outcomes are worsening. Every 90 minutes, someone dies by suicide. In 2024, I nearly became part of that statistic.
But from those suicidal lows, I have found a route to recovery. A recovery based on a decision to live my life with unwavering positivity. A choice to seek the good in the world and celebrate it.
Mental illness is devastating, isolating and terrifying. But it doesn’t have to be a life sentence. My aim is to provide hope for those who are struggling. To show that there is always a path to recovery.
