Running on Empty: Judy’s fundraising story

As a non-runner who first took up Couch to 5k during lockdown, SANE supporter Judy found that running became an invaluable tool for her mental health.

Since then, she has gone on to fundraise at several events, from the London 10k to the London Marathon. Alongside this, she is a co-founder of Running on Empty, a CIC that aims to foster community and wellbeing within the security industry.

In conversation with SANE’s Community and Events Manager, Jonathan, Judy shares how community and accessibility, not breaking records, have been central to improving her mental wellbeing through exercise.
