The foundation emphasises wilderness therapy and personal transformation, drawing on Lennox's own experiences in recovery and leadership to create structured programmes that combine physical challenge with emotional healing.Lennox recently launched The Recovery Road, a new long-distance walking trail designed specifically for those rebuilding their lives after addiction.
