“It was amazing and it was difficult, I won’t lie,” the 25-year-old said of the 42km Wally Hayward Marathon.

“I remember waking up that morning, putting on my gym clothes, going to run. After that my memory [only] started kicking [in] from the hospital,” she said. “Some of the flashback scenes I remember is when we got to the hospital they were trying to get me to the theatre as soon as possible. They said my skull was exposed, my wound was that deep. I also suffered from post-concussive syndrome.She said on the day of the marathon she woke up with a painful knee, but decided to go ahead and race.

Running has become a form of therapy for her mental health issues from which she has suffered for eight years.
