Peter and Naledi sit down and talk to Corie Mapp who is a multiple World Cup, World Championship and European Championship medallist in Para Bobsleigh.

A Lance Corporal in the British Army, Corie lost both legs when his military vehicle ran over an explosive device in Afghanistan in 2010. Among other injuries, he suffered a broken jaw, severed lip and punctured lung but three years later he was representing Great Britain at the European Championships for sitting volleyball.

He took part in the Invictus Games in 2014 and it was Help the Heroes that introduced him to bobsleigh at a trial camp in Calgary a year earlier.

Since then, he's a serial winner in para bobsleigh and talks about how he got there as well as some advice if you have ever thought of following in his footsteps.
