Sara Morris, a 49-year-old from Stoke on Trent, UK, was jailed for eight months for exaggerating her Multiple Sclerosis symptoms to claim £20,000 in benefits, while participating in over 70 running events. Despite claiming severe disability and anxiety, Morris’s social media showed her actively running races, leading to her conviction for fraud. A proceeds of crime hearing is scheduled to recover the money.
