Hi, I’m Megan.

Runner, dog lover, mental health advocate, former journalist. Oh, and did I say, runner.

I’ve become quite one-dimensional in the last year. Running is what I want to be doing all of the time.

But there are times when I can’t be running, not many times, but it’s the kind of thing that you can’t do with all your waking hours. And with the rest of those hours, I am passionate about improving mental health outcomes in Britain.

A few years ago, I went through my own period of relatively extreme turbulence with my mental health. That came after several years of depression, anxiety and cripplingly low self-esteem. It was awful. But I want to give that awfulness and purpose and use it to help others overcome whatever challenges they are facing.
