A man who was once a homeless drug addict turned his life around. With the help of a local homeless charity, a kind-hearted volunteer tutor and a gym that 'gave him a chance' Ryan Riley is now the happiest he has been in a long time.
The 29-year-old was in and out of prison, as he dabbled in crime to fund his addiction. He is now determined to help others who have been in a similar situation and feel like they have nowhere to turn.
Ryan has been sober for five months and sought help at a charity in Grimsby called Harbour Place. It was here that his interest in fitness inspired staff to deliver educational courses to service users.
