"It’s just like winning a race" - Moon helps the homeless
Melissa Moon is no ordinary world champion. After twice winning the World Mountain Running trophy she went on to run 1500km across 16 countries in the Blue Planet run, a campaign for safe drinking water in Africa. But she isn’t stopping there…
