RICK - I'm Rick, I am a British Army veteran. I served a total of 14 years and in that time, I deployed on 2 tours of duty, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The latter being my last active duty, as I sustained life changing injuries after stepping on an IED (improvised explosive device) in the summer of 2012.

As such I am now an above knee single leg amputee (left leg) and have a multitude of other injuries which added to the reasons as to why I was medically discharged from the military in September 2018.

I am a person who loves a challenge and thrives under pressure, I recently completed the USMC marathon in Washington DC and the London Marathon with the support of my wife to be, raising money for Help for Heroes and Frontline Children.

I believe that positive mental attitude is crucial to achieving success, whether that be in learning something new, work, mental health or exercise and well-being. I am motivated and driven by the desire to help those less fortunate, and that have been left with nothing because of conflict.

RYAN - I'm Ryan, I joined the army in 2007, serving 8 years in total. I was deployed to Afghanistan twice in quick succession. Spending a total of 14months in an extremely hostile environment, under intense pressure. I'm

specialised in building resilience, discipline, and motivation, often in the face of adversity. After serving in the army, I went on to qualify as an Army Physical Training Instructor, bringing a mountain of experience both mentally and physically to the role.

I then took these skills into

the civilian sector, consulting hundreds of clients on how to become the best version of themselves and getting the maximum out of work/life balance.

Personally I have a huge drive to help people.

In the first lock down, I recognised that not all children were able to get online, to access their schoolwork. So I created ‘tablets for children’. This went viral, and raised over £8,000 to purchase multiple tablets, helping over 250 children and their families.
