“There were very, very low moments. Because of where the brain was swollen it made the anxiety this absolute desperate, dark despair place that was just not sustainable. I couldn’t function. I’d wake up in these states of absolute, just blind terror.”
Thank you to musician and ultra-runner Charles Costa for sharing your incredible story as part of The Times and Sunday Times Christmas Appeal. Charles ran 90 marathons in 90 days for James’ Place last year raising £170,000.
