The Big U-Turn: The Will Pattinson Story

Annie Henwood

From growing up on a country property in Orange, NSW, to battling addiction, and now running marathons across the globe — Will Pattinson’s journey is one of grit, discipline, and hope.

In this episode of Pieces of the Mind, Will shares how he lost 54kg, turned his back on alcohol and drugs, and built a life fuelled by fitness, resilience, and purpose. His story is raw and relatable — from the challenges of boarding school and small-town drinking culture, to the breakthroughs that pushed him to make a complete life change.

At just 30, Will proves that no matter how far you’ve fallen, it’s never too late to take a new direction. His journey is living proof that when you dig deep and commit to change, nothing can stop you.
