I had a good conversation with Nellie who talked about her journey to running and how she is raising money for different mental health charities in Zimbabwe.

Nellie is an Irish-Zimbabwean writer, mother, and runner. In 2017 she became the first person to run across Zimbabwe, a total.of 724 km in 16 days. This year on 2 December 2020 she became the first woman to run Chesil Beach in Dorset, a challenging route of 18 miles of shingle. She writes a humorous blog, children's books and works as a political journalist. She is currently studying to become a paramedic.
