Mark Ormrod

Mark Ormrod has a story like few you have ever heard. From joining the Royal Marines at just 17 to a number of years later being the UK's military's first triple amputee (both legs and dominant arm) Mark had every excuse going to give up - but Mark doesn't have any quit in him. 

At 24yrs old whilst recovering in hospital Mark was told that he would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair & need to employ a full time carer. After the initial shock Mark decided that he wasn't going to let someone else's opinion become his reality. 

A proud father (known to his children as Iron Man) and husband, he created a new purpose and continues now to dominate and thrive in live. A pioneer in the UK as an above the knee double amputee prosthetic walker, he has gone on to be a best selling author, motivational speaker, BJJ blue belt and win multiple Invictus games medals.  

His attitude and perspective towards life can help us all. You won't be disappointed by this podcast.

His book 'Man Down' is available at Amazon and his story can be watched on YouTube @ No LIMBits
