Shaun was aged just 19 and was 6 days from ending a tour of Afghanistan when he stepped on an IED. He lost both his legs above the knee, his left eye, the vision in his right eye and suffered various other injuries. Here, he tells his story.

The Resilience Sessions has been inspired by Making Generation R – a campaign which aims to create a generation of resilient people across the U.K. The series is brought to you by Blesma, the limbless veterans charity, and is based on an original idea by Simon Harmer and The Drive Project. The Resilience Sessions are supported by Openreach and produced by The Drive Project.
