Episode 33: Mark Harding, Big Miles For Forgotten Smiles

In this episode, I'm talking with Mark Harding who served with the KORBR. Joining in 1996 and completed tours of N Ireland, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Mark tells us about his time in the Army serving with COP and his tours one of which was cut short by being shot through the neck and paralysing Mark from the neck down. Mark had proven many people wrong and fought back to fitness having competed in Kayaking and Dragon Boat racing with the Purple Warriors. Mark has also completed various walks raising money for Scotty's Little Soldiers, a charity he holds very close to his heart. Mar completed a grueling walk from John O'Groats to Lands End. At the time of this recording, he was well on his way to completing his latest task of walking from his hometown of Carlisle to the Netherlands in commemoration of Operation Market Garden's 80th anniversary, again raising money for Scotties Little Soldiers.
