b'In the early hours of Christmas Eve 2007, Royal Marines Commando Mark Ormrod was out on a routine foot patrol in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan when he stepped on and triggered an Improvised Explosive Device. Thanks to the swift action of the men around him and the intervention of the Medical Emergency Response Team he was airlifted via helicopter to an emergency field hospital in a desperate attempt to try and save his life. An innovative and dangerous procedure carried out onboard a Chinook helicopter en route to the hospital did save his life. He woke up three days later in the UK in Selly Oak Hospital, Birmingham: Both legs amputated above the knee and his right arm amputated above the elbow. He was the UK\\u2019s first triple amputee to survive the Afghanistan conflict.\\n\\nMark joins Robert, Scott Kinder, and Scott Johnson to share his story of how he never lets his circumstances or past define who he is and his relentless effort to live life to the fullest. Mark is always free to share his story to inspire others and he finds ways to give back to those who can benefit from his amazing journey.\\n\\nFollow Mentors for Military:\\niTunes: http://apple.co/1WaEvbB\\nSoundCloud: www.soundcloud.com/mentors4mil\\nInstagram: www.instagram.com/mentors4mil\\nTwitter: www.twitter.com/mentors4mil\\nFacebook: www.facebook.com/mentors4mil\\nHomepage: www.mentorsformilitary.com\\nUse Code Mentors4mil at www.SkeletonOptics.com to receive your discount.'
