"I lost both my legs when I stood on a Taliban IED - I thought I was dead."
Scott Yarrington spent eight years with the Irish Guards before his military career came to a shattering halt when he stood an IED while serving in Afghanistan.
The injuries he suffered were catastrophic.
But despite losing both his legs in the blast, Scott refused to spend the rest of his days in a wheelchair and has since rebuilt his life.
Please take a few minutes to listen to his inspirational story.

An incredible story from a very brave man. Such fortitude to get through a life changing experience like that. Listening to him now it sounds like he's come through & now living his best life - full respect.
Great testament to courage and determination. Also to advances in battlefield medicine…years ago (eg 80’s) he’d very probably have died in theatre of operations given the extent of his injuries. Brave warrior, great medics.
Full respect to you Scott, and thank you for your service and sacrifice. Proud to support heroes like you, take care man. And thank you Vets Foundation for the amazing and important work you do.

Love you man ❤
You dam lucky you never meet your maker
And for what? To appease politicians? And yet another round of tyrannical thugs in yet another country!? Sorry. I'm just so angry for you all. Stay safe. 🙏🇮🇪🏴👌🫡
To lose both your legs in a pointless war must be a helluva thing. Was it worth it? WW2 and fighting against tyranny I can understand and much respect to those who fought at Normandy and elsewhere but this I dont understand. Why was he fighting the Taliban? What was the point? Since then all USA/UK troops have left Afghanistan and the Taliban are still doing their thing, same as before. Leave them to it, who cares?
