Episode 78 - Phill Hayward

Earlier this year Phill Hayward completed the latest in a long line of physical challenges in order to raise money for Wirral Mind. This time around he had vowed in 2020 to run 10k a day for a whole year. The challenge garnered media attention locally and nationally, with Phill raising to date, just shy of £15k for the mental health charity.

On today's episode, we wanted to find out more about the motivation behind Phill's challenge, as we discussed his own mental health journey. A lifelong match day going Everton fan, we also chatted to Phill about his love of the blues, and how it has created a uniquely strong bond with his Mum.
