Running has transformed my mental health

大象传媒 Radio Leicester's Make a Difference Awards are back.

All this week, you'll be meeting the nominees in the Bravery category, which is for someone who's shown outstanding courage, defiance and duty in the face of perceived danger, fear or difficulty.

For the last five years Andy Knight has struggled with his mental health and last year he hit a particular low. Andy began running in the hope it would help.

It became a lifeline for him and he realised it could also help others. He set up a Facebook page and created an online community surrounding mental health and running.

Jo Bostock went to surprise Andy along with Hunted star and Make a Difference Judge Mel Thomas.
