In a recent campaign for The Independent in partnership with Buxton Water and Mind, I interviewed a series of marathon runners who have faced mental health challenges and are training with support from the Buxton team as part of a wider mental health and hydration campaign. Check out the full campaign here.
“Buxton wants to encourage the Nation to join the movement: exercise, hydrate and take care of your mental health.
