#Recoveryispossible

​Why do I swim?

My name is Luke Richards, I am a Alcoholic and an Ultra-marathon swimmer. Over 10 years ago my life was on a singular trajectory, I was caught in the cycle of addiction with no hope of recovery.

With the help of lots of people I did recover, and have been blessed with an amazing life.  

I believe that we write addicts off as "lost causes" and I am swimming to show that we have the capacity to change a live amazing lives.
