Join us for an inspiring conversation with Sally Orange MBE, a pioneering mental health advocate, endurance athlete, and professional speaker who is redefining resilience. As a former Army physiotherapy officer with 22 years of service, Sally has transformed her personal battles with severe depression and anxiety into a powerful mission to challenge mental health stigma and ignite meaningful change.


Famous for running dressed as different pieces of fruit, Sally has completed over 85 marathons on every continent, earning multiple Guinness World Records, including the fastest marathon run as a piece of fruit! From the Everest Marathon to the World Marathon Challenge—where she ran 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 consecutive days—Sally tackles grueling challenges with a contagious smile, proving that even the toughest journeys can spark vital conversations.


Sally's dedication to mental health awareness has not gone unnoticed. She has received numerous accolades, including an MBE for services to charity and mental health, the British Citizen Award, and the Soldiering On Inspiration Award. As the first female National Ambassador for UK Army Cadets, she has inspired thousands to embrace resilience and openly share their own stories. Her philanthropic efforts have raised nearly £1 million for various charities, reinforcing her commitment to making a lasting impact—one step at a time.
