Going Out Out with Merrell

The ladies are going ‘out out’ in the latest series from Merrell – one that shines a spotlight on three inspiring women who are harnessing the outdoors to help and inspire others. The series draws on themes including mental health, creativity, education, community, and loss, to showcase the power of the outdoors and the long-lasting positive effects of time spent outside. Each woman offers their own inspiring story, uncovered throughout the campaign.

Merrell heads out with Dr Jade Adams White, Trina Dawkins and Lauren Cook to uncover their personal stories and find out how they each draw strength, inspiration, and a sense of belonging from being at one with the world around them. Together, the women are forging a path to increase inclusivity and participation in outdoor activities, inspiring more women and younger generations to engage in outdoor activities and develop a deeper respect for nature and the natural environment.
