- We are delighted to have Daisy Hickman on this episode, she is one of our Ambassadors and a regular Canicrosser.
For ten years, Daisy dedicated herself to long-distance trails and club running events, however six years ago, began experiencing debilitating panic attacks during her runs.
After numerous medical tests she was eventually diagnosed with exercise induced panic attacks and the pleasure of running seemed completely lost.
However enter Pepper, who came as a puppy and when she was old enough became gave Daisy the confidence to consider running again. As well as being great company Pepper became Daisy's anxiety antidote. The connection they shared on the trails made Daisy feel less alone, providing a distraction from anxiety and a sense of being looked after.
The power of Canicross is a remarkable thing and so interesting to hear about their journey.
