Andy Reid MBE, from St Helens, lost both his legs and an arm after stepping on an improvised explosive device while serving with The Yorkshire Regiment in Afghanistan.
Now, the father of two is gearing up for the marathon on Sunday 26th April, to show what disabled and injured veterans can achieve. Andy is raising money for the Army Benevolent Fund and his own charity, Standing Tall Foundation.
