Standing Tall by Andy Reid
Andy Reid served thirteen years with the 3rd Battalion, The Yorkshire Regiment. In Helmand Province, Afghanistan, 2009, an IED blast cost him both legs and his right arm. Reid describes the trauma, the gruelling rehabilitation at Selly Oak Hospital and Headley Court, and the unwavering support of his wife Claire.
Rather than retreat, he channelled his determination into fundraising for the ABF and championing fellow veterans. Parachute jumps, long-distance motorbike rides and motivational talks show his refusal to be defined by injury.
An inspiring modern account of courage, resilience and service beyond the battlefield.
