Join host Ben Sheppard on this moving episode of the RunThrough Podcast as he talks with Poppy May, aka Poppy May Fitness, about her extraordinary journey. As a teenager, Poppy faced a life-changing situation that left her in a wheelchair, but she refused to let it define her.
She opens up about her struggles with mental health, accepting her new reality, and finding purpose through fitness and community. From racing in the London Marathon to inspiring thousands on Instagram, Poppy’s story is a powerful testament to resilience, hope, and determination.
Discover how she turned what could in her words have been her 'anchor' into her 'wings' and learn how to find strength and beauty in life’s toughest moments.
