Episode description

Swifty's story will take you on a journey - from Northern Ireland in 1992 where he was injured by a coffee jar bomb and lost both his legs above the knee... to Colorado where just last year he was developing the world's first pair of 3D printed, suspended snowboard bindings for double above-knee amputees.

The Resilience Sessions has been inspired by Making Generation R – a campaign which aims to create a generation of resilient people across the U.K. The series is brought to you by Blesma, the limbless veterans charity, and is based on an original idea by Simon Harmer and The Drive Project.

For more information on our Making Generation R speakers, to watch videos from our sessions, or to read more about project, head to The Resilience Sessions page on the Blesma website https://blesma.org/making-generation-r/the-resilience-sessions/
