HOW DO WE GET TO WELLNESS?
Master Corporal Chris Downey reflects on rehabilitation:
“I made a promise to him not to waste a minute of my life for the gift he had given me.”
“I’ve had the right support around me... The first day I was able to tie my own shoe again they made it seem like I’d cured cancer.”
Chris Downey is racing to the South Pole, 336 Km with Team Soldier On. Three years ago Chris sustained major damage to the right side of his body in a bomb blast in Afghanistan. Hear an audio clip at RACE TO THE SOUTH POLE
