S2 EP7: Jo Wright, overcoming adversity and learning to run

Jo Wright is probably one of the most inspirational women you'll ever meet. Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at a young age, Jo was unable to even wash herself let alone go for a run. After trying a range of different treatments, including chemotherapy, and battling through various side effects, in 2019, Jo finally found something that worked for her.

What followed was an incredible journey driven by Jo's determination to, in her words, get on with her life and embrace the things she could now do that she once was unable to. One of those things was running and, after realising by chance that she could run, Jo completed Couch to 5K and eventually entered a half marathon. Today, Jo's awaiting the 2022 London Marathon whilst living her life to the fullest.

In this episode, Jo talks about how her condition has motivated her to not take life for granted, as well as her incredible running journey and how she's feeling about running her first marathon. Prepare to be well and truly inspired by Jo and her amazing attitude when faced with adversity.
