Mark Ormrod who dared to chase his dreams, entered the Royal Marines in 2011, determined to make a difference. Little did he know that his life would take a harrowing turn on Christmas Eve 2007 while serving in Afghanistan with 40 Commando Royal Marines.

Mark faced the unimaginable - a devastating improvised explosive device explosion that resulted in the traumatic amputation of both legs and his right arm. Astonishingly, he was twice pronounced dead.

Mark defied all expectations, emerging as the first triple amputee to survive on the battlefield. A mere 14 weeks after being told he would never walk again, he astounded everyone by marching onto a parade on his new prosthetic limbs to receive the Operational Service Medal from HRH the Duke of Edinburgh.

Despite his horrific injuries, he remains genuinely humble, refusing to let his disability define him. Living life with the mantra 'no limits,' Mark has inspired thousands of Royal Marines and tens of thousands more to embrace their full potential.
