[QUOTE="Rock and Roll Farming RSS, post: 5769662, member: 78838"] [img]https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/files.thefarmingforum.co.uk/images/rockandrollheader.png[/img] 099 One Step Beyond Written by Tonight I'm absolutely delighted to be heading up to Lanarkshire in Scotland to talk to the legendary former dairy farmer, army officer, landmine clearer, and now motivational speaker, Chris Moon @ChrisMoonMTB We talk about his early days growing up in Wiltshire in a framing community, and how he ended up studying Agriculture at Seale Hayne College after working on a local dairy farm, before going on to discuss his decision to go to Sandhurst and join the British Army as an Officer. We go into his time there, before talking about his eventual decision to leave the Army and join the charity, HALO Trust, specialising in mine clearance. We then discuss at length how this led him to him being abducted by Khmer Rouge guerrillas in Cambodia, and how he successfully negotiated his release and that of two Cambodian colleagues, one of the very few Westerners to have survived such an experience. Next we go on to talk about the day in 1995 that 'he found a mine' in remote East Africa, in a supposedly safe area, losing a hand and leg, and how he had to treat himself to survive. When he arrived in hospital in South Africa, the doctors said they'd never seen anyone live with such a small amount of blood. We then discuss his unbelievably fast recovery, how he ran the London Marathon less than a year later, became the first leg amputee to complete the 250km Marathon de Sables held over 6 days through the Sahara desert, and now speaks to to businesses and organisations all over the world as a motivational speaker. All this and much, much more. Chris is one of the most incredibly inspirational people I've ever talked to, and it was a genuine privilege to get to speak to him for an hour tonight. His book 'One Step Beyond' is widely available, (and I can highly recommend it as a Christmas present!) and for more information about the work that he does please visit [URL='http://www.chrismoon.co.uk']www.chrismoon.co.uk[/URL] LONDON MARATHON 2019: As required by Universal law, much like if you're a vegan, if you're doing a marathon, you have to tell people about it.
