Content warning: Drinking alcohol; addiction; and suicide.
Deadly Runners founder Georgia Weir first tried running in 2012 to help her cope and manage her battle with mental health and addiction, and it worked. In 2013, she ran the New York marathon after six months of training. This was a life-changing experience for Georgia.
