Mark Ormrod: From Being Pronounced Dead, to Winning GOLD at The Invictus Games | Good Bad Beast

This week on The Good, The Bad & The Beast, Eddie is joined by ex-Royal Marine Commando and first triple amputee from the Afghanistan conflict Mark Ormrod. During this brutally honest conversation, Mark describes in vivid detail the moments in which his life changed forever, and the long road to recovery. Mark has since won multiple gold medals at the Invictus Games, and completed a variety of physical challenges to raise money in support of other soldiers injured during battle. Now touring the country speaking at events, running a business and writing books, there’s nothing that seems to be able to slow Mark Ormrod down.
