A TikTok star with millions of followers cycled to Sheffield as part of her ‘7 Cities in 7 Days’ challenge
A popular social media creator arrived in Sheffield as part of an ambitious nationwide mental health challenge.
Amy-Jo Simpson, a mum of two with over three million followers on TikTok, is currently running and cycling across the UK in a “7 Cities in 7 Days” to raise awareness and funds for Trauma Research UK.
Having departed from Leeds yesterday morning, she reached Sheffield early that afternoon at Redefine Body and Mind Gym, located on Holbrook Industrial Estate.
The Sheffield visit forms part of a week-long endurance journey that began in Newcastle on Monday and will conclude in London on Sunday.
Along the route, Simpson is covering hundreds of miles through cities including York, Nottingham, Leicester and Essex.
The challenge is deeply personal for Simpson, who has spoken openly about living with anxiety, OCD and grief following the loss of her father.
As an ambassador for Trauma Research UK, she is using her platform and physical challenge to encourage others to seek support.
Speaking about the challenge she said: “I’m a huge advocate for mental health because I’ve lived it. This is by far the biggest challenge I’ve ever taken on, but it means everything to raise awareness for something so important.”
Donations to support the can be made through links shared on her social media channels, with all proceeds going directly to Trauma Research UK.
