A fantastic privilege for us to sit down with Andy Reid MBE for Episode 21 of our Sofa Stories Podcast.🎙️

Army veteran, survivor, fundraiser, author and celebrity motivational speaker.
Andy’s story is so inspiring and moving.

While serving in Helmand Province, Afghanistan with The Royal Yorkshire Regiment Andy’s life changed forever on Tuesday 13 October 2009, when he was blown up by a Taliban improved explosive device (IED) losing both legs and his right arm.

Andy’s resilience, positive mindset, determination and courage has seen him raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for Armed Forces charities before setting up his own fantastic Standing Tall Foundation which promotes the mental and physical health of all community groups, through the provision of counselling, addiction support and physical activity initiatives.

Andy has climbed Africa’s highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro, done multiple skydives and even cycled from Land End to John O Groats all to raise awareness and inspire others in similar situations that hope can triumph over despair.
