My Story

I’m beyond excited to be part of this incredible relay! It’s been a long time since I last ran a relay - think primary school days (and back then, I actually finished the race!). But what truly makes this special isn’t just the running - it’s being part of something so meaningful. When I was asked to be an Ambassador, I was absolutely thrilled, and I couldn’t be prouder to support this amazing event!

A little about me - I’m a TV Presenter and Actress from South Africa, and I moved to the UK 10 years ago. My career has taken me both in front of and behind the camera, and I love every second of it. Back in South Africa, I was an Ambassador for the South African Anxiety and Depression Group because mental health advocacy has been close to my heart since I shared my own journey as a teen. As a mixed-race lesbian, I’m also deeply passionate about diversity and inclusion - it’s something I champion in everything I do.

At the core of it all, I believe in people. No matter our differences, we are connected by the things that truly matter - love, laughter, happiness, compassion, empathy, and joy. These are universal, and we all have the power to share them with each other.

So here’s to running, cycling, paddling, walking, raising awareness, and making a difference - together! ????

Excited to see you all there as we RELAY OUR WAY through the U.K.
