Description

Redemption: From Iron Bars to Ironman is a gripping autobiography that takes readers on a journey from crime and incarceration to sporting salvation. Written with renowned sportswriter Mark Turley, this fascinating account reveals the remarkable true story of John McAvoy's life turned around.

From a young age, John's life took a dramatic turn for the worse, leading him down a path of armed robbery and eventually landing him on Britain's most-wanted list. However, it was during his second stint in prison that he discovered an unexpected talent - breaking world rowing records while serving life in the Belmarsh high-security unit.

After his release, John transformed his life, becoming one of the UK's leading Ironman competitors. This fast-paced and inspiring account is a first-hand look at a life turned around, offering a unique perspective on redemption and the power of sport to change lives.
