Episode Five: Ruth Fox

Within the White Lines Football has been a constant for St Ives Town Ladies player Ruth Fox since she was young, in fact she would even go so far as to say that the sport saved her life. Now ready to write the next chapter, the central midfielder and campaigner is undertaking a 28 day cycling challenge to raise awareness of mental health in sport, and mental health in general, by visiting places that have played an important role in her recovery. In our special episode for Mental Health Awareness Week 2020 join her for 30 minutes of Mat Talk about the beautiful game, why kindness matters and unexpected detours.
