Red Needle

An ultra runner's story of stigma, trauma and lessons learned from their recovery from cancer

Ultra-runner Sarah Gerrish lost one ovary to cancer at 15 and the second to surgery at 36, plunging her directly into surgical menopause and a bewildering world of HRT, brain fog and loneliness.
Red Needle explores the stigma, trauma and lessons learned from Sarah’s life-changing experience.
