Jack Ahearn has one of the wildest stories I have ever heard!Jack grew up in Perth, with what he described as a nice family upbringing, and was really into his sport. Once he hit his teenage years he was drawn to the drug and alcohol culture which led him to become addicted to meth for 4 years.After some really hard times, Jack decided he needed help and went to an addiction rehab in Bali, Indonesia. From here he found a new hope for life got clean and began to learn more about mental illness and addiction. He now is a mental health expert and helps others on their journey at the same rehab facility he attended.Once clean from all drugs and alcohol, Jack found a love for running. He has completed multiple endurance races and with always had a passion to do it raising money for mental health.
