Listen now
Description
In Part 2 of this special episode we continue exploring the transformative power of The Alpine Run Project (supported by Nike, JD Sports & Strava) and the incredible journeys it has enabled.  In this episode, we hear firsthand from Eleana Matos and Nimrah Sohail,  two inspiring young women who went from inner-city life to the French Alps as part of this trail running initiative. Their stories offer a deep look into how sport and nature have helped them discover their potential, redefine their futures, and build a sense of belonging and purpose. We’re also joined by Darren Davis, John McAvoy’s former prison officer, who shares his perspective on John’s transformation and how his support and mentorship helped shape the foundation of the Alpine Run Project. Darren’s unique role in John’s life shows the profound impact one person can have on another’s path to redemption and success. If you missed Part 1 with John McAvoy, make sure to listen for a deeper dive into his remarkable personal story and the origins of this project.
