Marcus Skeet is a remarkable 17-year-old who became the youngest person to run the length of the UK, covering 874 miles from Land’s End to John o’Groats in 58 days. His journey was not only a physical challenge but also a deeply personal one, as he faced significant mental health struggles, including depression and anxiety, which he openly discusses. After a suicide attempt at the age of 15, Marcus turned to running as a means of coping and healing, ultimately raising over £157,000 for the mental health charity Mind during his epic run.
