An Afghanistan veteran who lost both legs and an arm in an explosion is taking on an epic challenge, after dedicating his life to helping others.
Andy Reid, from Rainford in St Helens, was "blown up" by an improvised explosive device while on patrol in Afghanistan on October 13, 2009. He defied the odds, having lost both his legs and right arm, and has since made it his mission to help others.
The dad-of-two not only received an MBE for his charitable work and set up the Standing Tall Foundation, but he has set himself another incredible challenge of becoming the first UK triple amputee to climb Kilimanjaro. Having set off on September 29, Andy is now halfway to the summit.
