On Thursday 12 February 2009 SAMH unveiled national hero and quadruple Olympic gold medalist Sir Chris Hoy as SAMH's first ambassador.

Chris said: "Mental health and physical health work hand in hand. While achieving four gold medals in Beijing was made physically possible by years of training, my mental health was critical to realising my dream."

"Everyone needs to appreciate the importance of good mental health, and know how to stay mentally healthy".

Sir Chris launched the SAMH Get Active campaign in April 2009.
