Gemma Bell's life was thrown into turmoil when she lost her dad to cancer, while still at school. Losing him at such a young age had a profound effect on her, and she became desperate to find a way of reconnecting with his memory. Inspired by his love of running, Gemma started to follow in his footsteps. It wasn't long until the running took over her life. But she became obsessed with it. However, the more she ran, the closer she felt to him. Then, in December 2015, Gemma collapsed after a run and was hospitalised for nearly a month. After losing her dad, Gemma already knew just how fragile life was, but being forced to spend her Christmas and New Year in hospital was a lightbulb moment. She saw how close her addiction had come to robbing her of everything that was truly important. Recovery wasn't an easy road but now she's stronger than ever and living a much more fulfilling life. This is her story.
