An Army veteran is planning to become the first triple amputee to complete the London Marathon in the hopes of showing others with a disability or injury what can be achieved “with the right mindset and the right support network”.
Former corporal Andy Reid, who lost both legs and his right arm after stepping on an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan in 2009 when on patrol with the 3rd Battalion, the Yorkshire Regiment, expects it will take him 12-13 hours and 80,000 steps to complete the 26.2 miles.
