Ricky Fergusson received the Military Cross for his bravery, after going to the aid of wounded soldiers injured by improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Fergusson went to the aid of his colleagues four times, before he was caught in a blast and badly injured himself. This resulted in Fergusson losing both legs, an eye and fingers on both hands. During his recovery process, he used Athletic sports to condition his body and build strength. Fergusson will be representing the British Armed Forces in Athletics.
