Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In this eagerly awaited sequel to his bestselling memoir Redemption, John McAvoy returns with a candid, gripping account of a decade that defies belief and provides further proof of the transformative power of sport. After serving ten years in some of the UK's toughest prisons, McAvoy emerged determined to make a difference. Soon after his release he became a Nike athlete, and embarked on a mission to help some of the most underprivileged youngsters in the country and enable them to change the trajectories of their lives through trail running. This gripping story is interwoven with exclusive interviews with leading figures in sport, government and grassroots communities - including prisoners and the young people whose lives McAvoy has transformed. From serving a life sentence to becoming a Nike-backed Ironman athlete, McAvoy's journey stands as a powerful testament to resilience, redemption and the life-changing force of second chances.
