Glen Fisher Was Abused and Abandoned (Part 2)

Welcome back to part two of Glen’s story. If you haven’t listened to part one yet, go back and catch up now.

In today’s episode, we follow Glen as his girlfriend’s murder sends him spiralling into a 35-year heroin addiction. He tries to end his life—twice— and hear how jail, against all odds, became the best thing that ever happened to him.

Today, Glens charity, The Leg Up Project, is helping others who are doing it tough on the streets.
