CEO and Founder Hannah Beecham was inspired to start RED January after witnessing the transformative effect that regular exercise had on her Mum as she recovered from a period of severe depression. Since RED January's first challenge in 2016, over 100,000 people from around the UK have got active every day in January, to beat the blues away. Fearne Cotton, Dame Kelly Holmes, David Weir, Dr. Chatterjee and Bella Mackie are amongst its supporters. To date, over '1.7m has been raised for RED January's charity partner Mind.
