On August 26, 2007, Tom Fitzsimons was an out of control alcoholic speeding towards an early grave. A day later he gave up the booze forever!

Here Tom talks candidly to Jonny Wootton about his journey, the desperate struggles and also incredible achievements!

Tom found his 'Why'. He found something to focus on that gave him hope - this was ultra distance running.

His first run was less than a mile and while admittedly initially thinking he was dying, he'd seen a glimmer of light and for the first time in two decades he felt happy.

Six years later, a lone Tom ran over 3000 miles in 100 days across America.

This is a must listen to anyone who enjoys a story of hope and redemption.

As Tom says: "Keep The Faith".
