Rose Byass suffered a mental breakdown and ended up hospitalised and at rock bottom but inside she had a strong will to survive and to get back up again, a strong desire to climb back out of the morass and after over a decade in the army and having faced many of lifes typical problems she the resilience to get back up.
A big part of her recovery journey was when she took up running. At first just short distances but within a very short period of time she started tackling one ultramarathon after the other. Getting mentally stronger alongside getting physically stronger and fitter.
She is a strong advocate for the power of sport to help people overcome depression and mental health issues.
Her next challenge is to compete in Florida in the Triple Ironman.
We would also like to thank the sponsors of this show.
