What were you doing 15 years ago? On 3rd February 2009, our latest life chat guest, Liverpool born, Honorary Royal Marine Colonel, Andy Grant, was blown up in Afghanistan alongside his fellow Marine commando, Iain Syme.
Andy was just 20 years old when he suffered 27 horrific injuries, was in a coma for 2 weeks, and woke to be told he could no longer have children. 18 months of tough rehabilitation followed before Andy made the agonising, life changing decision to have his seriously injured leg amputated.
Not only did Andy face the challenge of having to learn to walk again he has gone on to become;
· World record holder as the fastest single leg amputee over 10km
· Double gold medal winner at Prince Harry’s Invictus Games going on to run marathons, learning to ski and surf and conquering the highest of mountains.
Andy is in training for the one of the hardest ultra-marathons in the world, the Marathon des Sable and despite being told he could never have children, he is the proud father of his “greatest achievement”, his beautiful daughter, Alba.
Andy’s story is documented in his superbly-titled book “You’ll Never Walk” and his story begins at age 12, when he faced life without his beloved mum who passed away from leukaemia. Andy shares beautifully how his mum and family have been, and continue to be, his main source of strength and inspiration throughout his incredible challenges.
Now as an accomplished motivational speaker, Andy inspires people of all ages around the world to believe that anything is possible. If ever there was a story to make us not only open up but get us off our backsides to walk on and live life to the max, it’s this one.
