At his 25th wedding anniversary, Winnipegger Randy Makinson thought he had it all: a long happy marriage, the joys of children, and a well-paying job fixing race car engines.

This is where he’s worked and what he’s dedicated his life to for some 13 years now, after completing the program, having switched from a job rebuilding engines to one helping others rebuild their lives.
