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.
John McAvoy has collaborated with writer Paul Zanon to tell his story. Paul has penned 12 other books, most of which have reached the No.1 spot in their Amazon categories. He has also co-authored acclaimed boxing autobiographies, such as Jimmy Tibbs: Sparring With Life and Mooresy: The Fighters’ Fighter with Jamie Moore, and is well known for his journalistic work for the Daily Sport and various other publications.
