Hannah Beecham - RED January

Hannah Beecham was inspired to start RED January after witnessing the transformative effect that regular exercise had on her Mum as she recovered from a period of severe depression.

This got her thinking about all the people out there like her mum who might need extra support to take on a physical challenge, particularly in the winter months, when we all need some extra motivation.

And so RED January was born. Since then over 200,000 REDers have joined the movement all whilst raising over £3million for mental health charities.

We talk to Hannah about how important RED January was this year, given the particularly tough conditions people find themselves in. Why it's transitioned from running to activity, her opinion on the link between mental health and exercise, the power of community and much more.
