FREE AUTHOR TALK: 'The Bipolar Runner' with Jacqui Swallow

FREE AUTHOR TALK
'The Bipolar Runner' with Jacqui Swallow
Traralgon Library and Service Centre: Saturday 11 October 10.30am

Jacqui has lived with bipolar disorder all her life, battling crippling anxiety, debilitating depression, and destructive, whirlwind manic episodes. The only thing that has consistently helped her, more than medication, practicing gratitude, or mindfulness, is running. What began as a few small steps through tears and inertia culminated in Jacqui completing the Melbourne Marathon in 2023. At her pace, this accomplishment meant roughly six hours of continuous running.

Come and hear Jacqui’s story of her journey—one of pushing and challenging herself, defying expectations, and achieving something truly exceptional.
