Hero veteran Ben McBean shares the story that changed his life
On February 28th 2008 Ben McBean was on foot patrol in Afghanistan, just days before he was set to go home, when he stepped on a landmine. As a result, he lost his left arm and his right leg was amputated above the knee. Described as a “hero” by Prince Harry after they shared a flight home from Afghanistan, Ben went on to run multiple Marathons, complete the three peaks challenge and reach Everest base camp to raise money for veteran charities. Ben shares his story to mark the nationwide Remembrance silence.
