45-year-old Stephen Melling, overcoming addiction, creates Recovery Runners support group and plans a 110-mile birthday run to raise funds.
Stephen Melling, a 45-year-old from Liverpool, overcame severe cocaine and alcohol addiction that once cost him £150 daily and pushed him to write suicide notes. After seeking help at a mental health unit, he found solace in running, which inspired him to create Recovery Runners, a support group now with over 100 members. To celebrate his birthday, he plans a 110-mile run in 24 hours to raise funds for the group, supported by Liverpool's Good To Go Recovery Drinks.
