Motivational speaker, disability advocate, para-athlete and winner of Blogosphere’s Fitness Creator of the Year (2022), Milly Pickles is a symbol of unwavering resilience to her followers. A few years ago, Milly had a near death experience which led to her right leg being amputated below the knee. Despite such a traumatic incident, she makes it her mission to change peoples perceptions of the disabled community and the view that life is not worth living when times get hard. Milly powerfully believes that happiness is a choice and documents her life as an amputee. Her content symbolises that from adversity comes strength, and mental journey to mindfulness.

Milly was spotlighted in the 2021 Cosmopolitan’s Positivity Index and was heralded for ‘bringing joy this year,’. She was a cover star for Women’s Running Magazine, covering her rehabilitation journey and experience being a blade runner. She was further spotlighted by The Telegraph for her role in bringing further attention to women’s sport on social media.
