Interviews

Since recovering from cancer, I’ve dedicated myself to ultra running—designing unique endurance challenges and supporting others on their own journeys through illness and recovery.

This page features a selection of the many articles, interviews, and podcasts that have shared my story and helped raise awareness around cancer, resilience, and the power of movement.

I'm available for media opportunities and conversations around running, recovery, mental strength, and mental health.

For press enquiries or to connect, please get in touch.
