Sarah Swainson - Bold heart - Season 2 - Episode 25

Loading player...
This week we meet Zeldi, a woman whose story redefines endurance.

In 2022, she went from “completely fine” to waking up in ICU with severe malaria, kidney failure, anaemia, cerebral complications, and a fight for her life.
Two months in hospital, nine double blood transfusions, and eighteen months of recovery later… this is a story you don’t want to miss.

Now, at 54, she’s training for her 8th Comrades Marathon, with the vitality of a 20-year-old and a heart full of faith, discipline, and determination.

✨ Tune in to hear how Zeldi turned her battle into a bold comeback story and what it really means to never, ever give up.
