Global tarmac network in a state of sheer panic.
Trying to persuade 4x Olympic gold medalist, captain of the open road and legend of the game Sir Mo Farah to come and rip up the ultra running scene. What challenge should we take on? What countries or continents should we attempt to cross? Let us know in the comments.
World records getting battered.

It doesn't matter what language everyone speaks, having good mental health is important and universal.

This week we had visitors from @Abianda1, who led a zine workshop for our Sisterhood session.
We explored themes such as women's health, fitness, beauty standards, and societal pressures and expectations.
Thank you to our workshop facilitators Alex and Ria.
