After a health scare, Mark Sadler gave up his work as a train engineer. Now he is working outdoors and has never been happier
“I’ve never picked the jobs I’ve done in my life,” says Mark Sadler. But when he retired at 60, finally, he says, “I got to choose.” He became a lifeguard.
Sadler is 62 now but three years ago a health scare prompted a rethink. He was giving blood when he felt chest pain. In hospital, he says, “The doctor asked: ‘Do you drink?’ Yeah, probably too much. ‘Do you smoke?’ Yes. They can see by my size that I eat too much. I thought, ‘I’m never going to be in this position again, where I’m in here because of my own fault.’”with narrowed arteries, Sadler stopped smoking and drinking, and followed a vegan diet.
