Triple-amputee Mark Ormrod: strangers asked if I was going to do the Paralympics
Being told he was going to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair didn't wash for Mark Ormrod. The former Royal Marine Commando lost both legs above the knee and his right arm above the elbow in a blast in Afghanistan in 2007. Not only did Mark learn to walk again, he has won medals at the Invictus games and driven fast cars. And now he trains Brazilian jiu-jitsu. His work as a motivational speaker makes total sense - he has certainly made me think differently about the so-called injuries I have worried about.
