I spent years running from my past.
From the man who stole my childhood.
From the grief of losing my father.
From the addiction, the breakdowns, the shame, and the memories I couldn't escape.
Then one day, I started running for a different reason.
Not to escape.
To heal.
Running For the Girl I Was is the true story of a girl from a council estate who survived abuse, loss, addiction, and mental illness-and the sport that helped her find her way back to herself.
A memoir about resilience, recovery, and learning that even when life breaks you, you can still keep moving forward.
