Neil Heritage is a motivational speaker and disabled Army veteran.
He has definitely inspired me. From the first day I heard of his story to now interviewing him, I am astounded by Neil’s courage and perseverance.
Neil served in the British Army for 11 years on the bomb disposal team in Bosnia, Northern Ireland, and Iraq.
He lost his legs in Iraq in 2004 where he was clearing a route for IEDs and a suicide bomber got through the cordon and detonated.
After the initial recovery from his injuries and adaptation to his new lifestyle, Neil tried all types of challenges: from triathlons to rowing across the Atlantic ocean to becoming the 1st below-the-knee double amputee to scale Matterhorn.
Neil has a foundation called Climb 2 Recovery. C2R supports wounded soldiers in their rehabilitation using climbing and adventurous challenges as a springboard to recovery.
No better episode to release on this day.
Enjoy!
