Join us in an inspiring conversation with Linzi Churchill as she shares her extraordinary adventure of through-hiking the 7,000-mile perimeter of Great Britain.

Over the course of 298 days, Linzi undertook this incredible journey to raise awareness and funds for mental health support organizations MIND and National Trails. Her trek included completing the equivalent of 169 marathons and climbing elevations matching 12 Everest summits, all driven by her personal connection to these vital causes.

In this podcast, Linzi opens up about how nature became a sanctuary after experiencing family losses during the COVID pandemic. Embracing outdoor challenges transformed her life, culminating in the creation of the Lindsay Walk Challenge, which earned a place in the Guinness World Records. 

Linzi emphasizes the profound impact this journey had on her mental health and underscores the therapeutic power of nature and creativity in overcoming depression and addiction. Listen as she reflects on the significance of outdoor exploration and shares her gratitude for the community’s unwavering support in promoting mental well-being. Linzi also teases the possibility of writing a book about her transformative experiences.
