Fresh Start Saved My Life
Running up and down the 300 steps of Jacob’s Ladder in King’s Park is a giant leap for Jonathan Vickers as he strives to beat his drug addictions.
The 32-year-old unemployed man is participating in a Fresh Start Recovery Programme initiative to improve the fitness of clients.
Today Jonathan runs up and down the ladder four times in succession, and for the first time in a decade his confidence levels have also climbed.
“I now believe I am in the early stages of making a definite future for myself,” he said.
